Acting, can or do you act?

TheCatWoman

I've never really been into acting or drama and I don't think I could do it, or rather not screen acting, I think I could do theatre, I can't get my head around how to act disconnected scenes rather than a whole dialogue thing. It would really discombobulate me if I had act scenes out of sequence because of locations, like if part of the film was outside a stately home and all the scenes inside were filmed in a studio and you had to do all your pieces muddled up.

Sorry I'm not explaining this very well, but do you know what I mean?

Do any of act, apart from masking which is an act but totally different.

  • Ah, you happily reminded me of Saturday morning drama lessons in Coventry Cathedral, when I was in my early teens. We were called 'The Porch Players' and performed on the steps between the old and new cathedrals. The lessons were run by drama students from Valparaiso [South America] over several years and were great fun. I learned how to run a props department. I wasn't any good as an actress but as a result of learning 'props', how to make/source them, I got a job in a large hospital running the Engineering stores, which I did for 8 years. That was one of the best jobs I had - very suitable decades before I knew I had autism. Thanks for triggering these memories, TheCatWoman!
