About Performance: Artisanal Style

The term for acting first used by Stanislavski.

It means that the actor performs a role that is approached not from the inner substance of the role, not from the experience of this inner substance, nor from the imagination of it, but from something else entirely. Anyone who does not feel a living emotion similar to that of the character played cannot be said to be creative.

A performance that does not realize and understand where true art begins and ends is craftsmanship. Craftsmanship is the opposite of true performing art, which crucially lacks the necessary experiential process. The crafted actor only reports the character's lines, which are accompanied by unchanging stagecraft.

Performance Hypotheticality

It is the characteristic and style of performance of opera actors. The audience is receptive to the exaggerated and programmed performances of the actors in a hypothetical environment because it is in harmony and unity with the stage.

But in the movie performance, the actors are performing in the real exterior and realistic interior, which requires the actors to get rid of the stage's assumptions, perform very realistically and naturally, and integrate with the real environment, so as to get the unity of style in the art of movie performance.
