Why Theatre - Why Acting?

In order to enter and create a role, an actor must have the capacity to empathize and to enter the reality of circumstances to make that believable for an audience. To achieve that, the actor must be have the full range of expression, the intelligence to analyze situations, the flexibility to go beyond their own habitual expressions and the capacity of the voice and voice and body to express ideas fully and clearly.

All of us in life are required to be effective in a variety of circumstances. Are we limited by our own habits and predispositions? What skills can we learn from theatre so that we can be most effective in any given set of circumstances?

Eda Roth teaches people not to “put things on”, but to bring more of what already exists in each person – to be more of their real and vital selves, to understand and inhabit each circumstance with clarity, presence and the power that actors have to touch hearts and minds, interact effectively with others and command the attention of audiences.
