Actors Vs Directors
Wed, 14 May 2003, 08:34 pmHow much control should the director have in the the creative process of the bringing the character to life.
I have heard many actors complain about directors who don't give them space to create. Personally I prefer for the director to stay out of this process completley and just trust the actor.
What's your view?

Ok, to make the analogy more relevant to the current descriptive dialogue,
The coach would be the director as he rarely plays himself.
The Captain and Start Players would be the lead and primary cast members. The rest of the team would make up the supporting cast. The sideline support crew (bucket boy, etc) would be the supernumeraries (extras). The members of the club council would be equivalent to the Stage manager and backstage crew.
and so on and so forth.
Moral of this long-winded and verbose description?
Teamwork, cooperation and communication are the cornerstone of any good performance be it on stage or in the field.
Relate the success of certain sporting teams and you may find (like I did) comparative similarities to theatre.
Aspects that make a successful footty, cricket, soccer or rugby team (to name a few) are very much those of a theatrical production team, don't ya think?
