How to Become an Actor/Performer

The title of my lecture-demonstration-workshop is “Scenic Imagination – the actor/performer’s body as a scenic element.”.

Throughout this collaborative experimentation we try to face some of the possible challenges of the actor as researcher.

For many distributors, the choice of one film over another often comes down to whether your film features an actor that audiences recognize.

Actors’ performances breathe life into a film, and their fame gives a film its marketing power.

Because performers realize the hold they have over a film project, negotiating the performer’s services agreement can be a nail-biting experience.

Find the joy, from Jonathan Groff.

Study, study, study, from “Enlisted” actor Keith David.

Don’t worry about what the casting director is thinking, from “Trophy Wife” star Michaela Watkins.

Risk failure to make truthful discoveries, from Lupita Nyong’o.

Believe in your goals—however lofty, from “Mad Men’s” James Wolk.

This year’s slate of nominated actors is a more likable lot, including the Nicest Man in Hollywood playing the Nicest Man in Television.

If there’s any diversity in the actor races, it’s in the characters they played—among them a killer clown, two Popes, Jimmy Hoffa, and a theatre director getting a divorce.

His delivery at times echoes back to the manic street theatre of “Dog Day Afternoon,” and Hoffa comes across, in his own way, as a performer.

There have been fantastic directors and actors who have brought people together, and efforts are being made.

You can meet the world’s first actor-performer humanoid, RoboThespian, at the Indian Institute of Technology-Bombay (IIT-B) campus in Powai next month.

One of the great things about being an actor is that no day is the same.

It was the first time an actor with an intellectual disability (ID) presented at the Academy Awards.

We know that actors with intellectual disabilities bring extraordinary skills to the performances, including the ability to create complex roles, improvise, and perform with profound empathy and humor.

Because performers realize the hold they have over a film project, negotiating the performer’s services agreement can be a nail-biting experience.
