Subject: RE: Performance Ability does it matter?
And as far as stage craft is concerned, it can't be learned anywhere but on a stage.[quote Don Firth]
I partly agree with you Don ,I think it can be learned on stage ,but it can also be taught, as acting can ,in rehearsal .
Ewan MacColl had a drama back ground,and was a fine presenter whose stage craft was second to none,I think his drama experience taught him a lot ,and helped him present his performances well .
so stage craft can be taught ,and practised .
Professor Alexander[Alexander technique],was a person who took presentation of performance very seriously,and believed it could be taught .
presentation of performance,equals stagecraft .
