Non-state actor

is not exactly a new concept in modern times. However, in the Elizabethan era, the concept of meta-theatre was one of the first iterations of this. In a nutshell, meta-theatre describes the blurred line between the world and the stage, audience and actor, reality and illusion, seeming and being; much like the breaking of the fourth wall does today in digital media. In Hamlet, this concept of meta-theatre is depicted through Hamlet’s viewing of himself being in a play. Whereas he is truly…

they want to be an amazing actor one day because their major was entertainment/theatre. How I felt about this play is that it was not to my high expectation when I saw it. The actors in some scene was be fragile when they was acting. In the other scene of the play of “The Good Doctor” was great, for “The Sneezer” the actor in that play caught the audience attention. The actor in that act was showing so much emotion in that act and I could tell the relationship with the actors in it was strong.…

minute, you arrive at your assigned seat and the well dressed man wishes you a wonderful evening and leaves to assist another audience member. Waiting for the show to begin, you decide to look through your program. Headshots and biographies of the actors and characters amuse you for a short period of time, but then you begin to notice that there are more people involved in the show than you had originally thought. Pages and pages of credits for everything from stagehands and…

As usual, I had to a do a little research to discover who played some of the minor characters, and I did ascertain that while this cast has some notable and recognized professionals, there are also several outstanding newcomers. Thankfully, all the actors and actresses work together to make this another of my favorites of the holiday season. In fact, at the end of this film, I declared that this is unmistakably my kind of film. No stranger to the screen, Deborah gives a blissfully magnificent…

's Nest was filmed on location at the Oregon State Hospital, so not only did this element give the film a much more realistically uncanny tone, but the actors were affected by the unearthly scenes as well. They were able to develop a closer relationship with their characters by being surrounded with what they 'd be encountering every day. Producer Michael Douglas is quoted in Axmaker 's review by announcing, "We got so involved that some of the actors actually took on the psychotic problems of…

The instruments present all belong to the String family; Cello, Violin, Viola and the Double Bass are all present in the Scene. This creates a very peculiar sound, no Brass instruments to create the usual ‘Noise’ affiliated with action and no Woodwind to soften the sound and calm things down. The sound is very rough, the high, screeching Violins create excitement as the action becomes more frenzied, so do the Violins. Each knife blow is accompanied by ‘screams’ by the high violins. This goes on…

Casting is a vital part of creating a movie and the director must be involved in the process to bring his or her vision to life. In the case of some movies any actor who fits a general type will be able to fulfill a director’s vision, but in other cases there is only one actor who will work in the role. Both of these situations are reflected in the casting of the protagonists in The Drop and Spy. The movie Spy without the casting of Melissa McCarthy would have lost the impact of the majority of…

thoroughly describe the feat of acting. Acting is not all there is to being an actor. There are various trials and competitions such as auditions and casting calls to go through prior to even being able to capture a job. After that, having the title of “actor” means hours devoted to memorizing lines and cues (Encyclopedia of Careers, 16). All this is still only the surface of all the actions that must be taken to really be an actor. Acting displays a mixture of various skills including…

The Actors Society is constituted by human beings. Although sociologists seldom endow agency to individuals, they still describes some of the actions of the actors in their works. The two theorists here are French theorists, who have tendency toward bestowing less agency to the actors as most French theorists do. However, their discussion cannot lose the part of actors if they want a whole picture instead of a partial one. In my view, albeit Durkheim and Foucault are similar at putting less…
