What The Top Performers In The World Know About The Body - Jean-Louis Rodrigue

[@Guigley]

This conversation is a great rebuttal to those who think acting is just memorizing and speaking lines of dialogue.

[@filmcourage]

Great point!

[@jakXDbaby]

We’ll you have to book the job before you start doing all this other work

[@filmcourage]

Can you think of an actor’s performance that is defined by movement?

[@filmcourage]

Good one! Along those lines we will add Brent Spiner!

[@corpsefoot758]

Andy Serkis 😉🥰

[@filmcourage]

Yes indeed!

[@KenyaMitchell]

Any performance my Meryl Streep. Her movements are do nuanced, especially in her facial expressions.

Daniel Day Lewis ‘My Left Foot’

This was so interesting. Especially the part where the interviewer said the quote "Actors spend too much time focusing on making their bodies into hard armor and not enough on discovering an emotional life". That may be true if you focus more on fitness than how you want to say lines and express emotions.

This man is a genius!!!!!!!

[@filmcourage]

More to come!

You guys or the The Lady with exquisite voice does this every day, at least one interview a day every day at least one! I love it, I keep wondering is she ever going on vacation or the grocery store ? 😂 She lives at work like teachers when you’re in kindergarten. Pretty cool ( admiration right here guys) You get to talk to people and let them talk, actually curious with the actual thought out questions, mind being on the subject. Lots off jobs out there never focus on “that” or it’s not really required so the investments kinda suck because nobody cares to relate to each other because they don’t have to 😂 it’s more like a chore to most people…having to break down other people’s thoughts ( basically think about others) open ideas about their work/ life/ opinions…it’s cool you be you we’er good we’re just talkin.

This is terrific! Wish they would offer their workshop on the east coast.

[@CGFernandesOficial]

So interesting. I’m no actress, but would like to have classes with him 😂

[@filmcourage]

Same here! We look forward to sharing more from this interview!

[@IlonaKatzew]

amazing!

Muscles are not limiting! Look at Tom Hardy in Warrior and Batman. Extreme vulnerability accomplished.

" check it with me , to see if it was all * CONVINCING * " : the essence of the dicaprio school of actin

[@art-o9e7n]

As a professional movement and dance coach myself, I’d like to object his idea that getting fit in the gym is limiting to developing kinesthetic sensitivity and expressiveness. It has more to do with an approach to one’s training and whether or not they have a strategy and tools to achieve physicality that can help them to connect to their emotional state better. Every training has its place and when I train an actor or regular person, I’d look at their overall lifestyle and goals before I tell them what can help. No movement or fitness approach is limiting unless it’s being misused or done incorrectly including weightlifting and resistance training.

[@robertbradley8276]

You don't understand

[@christomkinson1381]

There was an “if” qualifier and a “don’t do it too much” in his statement. The implication of his words are that there are ways of working out that aren’t “damaging” to your sensitivity. Perhaps you agree with each other more than you think?

[@nickybjammin7629]

Not crazy I believe it 💯

[@nickybjammin7629]

In other words stay away from TRT and steroids. 🎶 And when i die and when I’m gone 🎶 ( Blood Sweat and tears) Sure had some good ones like in the movie’Mask. I would love to pitch a fit like that wreck a china-cabinet 🙌🏼 Can it be more like your selling some bad emotion for some good emotion ?( money/less stress, and you were in a movie! ) Come and get your tears, get em while they’re warm we’re slashin prices! 🤣 Id have to memorize the material. I’ve memorized a lot of stuff from mouth to ears before it’s pretty fun depending if I’ve explored those type of words if they’re new words for some reason it’s hard. It’s easier when you also have it on paper I can read like crazy now days. But I would have to have the understanding with the words and do it with stuff on my mind except instead of it being hidden when I speak like in everyday life I’ll be able to finely holler as I’m taking about something different. It’s like when someone has a bad attitude so everything is a rage and everyone is thinking why is mad about this? He’s not..he’s upset about something else ( type thing) but deferent in actual practice rather then theory?
