Masterclass

Challenging the Director – an Actor’s Perspective

Acting in front of the camera can pose a challenge for all actors who have received their education primarily on stage. Film directors find it difficult to “change” the actor’s attitude towards the acting process. They also find it almost impossible to quench the actor’s desire “to sound theatrical”. Speaking on stage is now regarded as impossible for cinema. But is this true? Are cinema and theatre that much different? What can theatre actors bring on the film set, and what do cinema directors have to work with in order to achieve a truthful character rendition on screen? With time, do actors evolve cinema-wise even if they would work mainly on stage?

These questions will be dealt with at the Masterclass in Challenging the Director – an Actor’s Perspective trying to equalise the ideas young directors might have for truthful acting as opposed to “theatrical” or false acting in front of the camera.

Sava Dragunchev is lecturer in Acting and Speach at NATFA.
