Methodology of acting - genres (perhaps?)
Some time ago, someone came up with a nice dissection of the schools of acting beginning with the incomparable Nadigar Thilagam - this thread is to discuss all of the following:
1. Different schools of acting;
2. How different actors approached the same/above;
3. How different actors gave their own respective dimension to the above;
4. The role of the director/script writer in all of the above;
5. Role of body language;
6. Most importantly, the efforts an actor puts in towards preparation for a role;
Feel free to quote examples from all genres of cinema - Indian/regional, international etc..
