#nonacting

I read ‘Making a Performance: Devising Histories and Contemporary Practices’ this reading was not only very interesting for me as an actor, but midway through I realised this relates to my SitCom in more ways than one. The characters Fred John and Stephen McCarthy are based on real life people that I know. The aspect of ‘acting’ and ‘non-acting’ is also something I found especially fascinating. The reason for this is, although the actor may be on stage or screen, is doesn't necessarily mean they are acting, they could just be portraying a heightened version of them-self.
