Activity
Information about the concept of doing within acting
In this video, Johan talks about what an activity is, and how to set it up so that you can focus on the doing without having to worry about pretending anything.
Scenes are often constructed with one person being in a location doing something, and then somebody else enters this location wanting something from the first person.
What you could be doing in a given situation will ultimately come from you and your imagination (and/or the director) as you think about the circumstances of the scene. If what you’re doing is interesting to you, then there’s a very strong chance that it will be interesting for the audience to watch.
