“I don't use any techniques; I'm not trained to be an actor. I just enjoy working in films. It's more instinctive rather than anything else. I don't do the calculated rehearsed kind of approach, and I hope that I can continue that because I believe that instinct is much stronger and greater when you are performing on camera.” BelieveKindI CanUseFilmActorsI BelieveEnjoyGreaterApproachStrongerCamerasInstinctTechniquePerforming Author:Amitabh Bachchan
“And treating poetry as a performing art emphasizes its ephemerality. A printed poem can be endlessly reprinted, photocopied, scanned, uploaded, cut and pasted - but a performance, even if somebody's there with a video camera, is one time only: the audience experiences something that won't exist when the performance is over, and which won't ever be reproduced in exactly the same form. I find that appealing.” IfsArtFormAudienceCuttingPerformancesCamerasVideoPerformingOne TimePrintedPerforming ArtsVideo Cameras Author:James Arthur
“Performing is the hardest thing. Even though I've done it for so many years, it's still exposing yourself. You suddenly become extremely vulnerable when you're on camera. You're filmed and you're being observed. It's a bit of a violation each time.” YearsStillsDoneBitsCamerasHardestVulnerablePerformingHardest ThingViolationExposingExposing Yourself Author:Julie Delpy

“It helps so much being on location. It's like the difference between performing for the rectangle of the camera versus a world being created and then the camera finds things within that. There's a huge difference in that, because what it takes away is performance. You don't feel like performing. You're just kind of doing it. You're existing.” WorldFeelsKindHelpingDifferencesHugePerformancesCamerasPerformingLocationVersusRectangles Author:Christian Bale
“Working on television is therapeutic to me. When that camera comes on all negativity vanishes. I forget about the fight I had with my neighbor. I forget about the pain in my left foot. I forget about my dog dying.

“I have some sort of performing gene that's just there and I cannot explain it but I want to connect with people through a camera or on a stage. I just can do it.

“My fondest memories were watching the Beastie Boys get prepped to come on stage. They had a lot of antics and they play a lot of basketball... then they were giving out cameras to the crowd, and performing from the bleachers. The most important thing I learned was that you control your crowd, not the other way around.” WayInspirationalGivingImportantPlayMemoriesBoysStageBasketballCamerasImportant ThingsCrowdsPerformingAnticsBleachers Author:Talib Kweli
