The Power of Humanity in Acting

The Power of Humanity in Acting

by Mario A. Campanaro

It is not just our technique that will do the job. Nor is it our expertise that will get us there and make the difference. While technique and expertise may play a role, they are not what define the actor. Our technique serves as a tool, a guide to help remind us of the true humanness in our work, but it is not what holds the creative power to move and transform.

What truly matters is our humanity. Our humanity is the most important and necessary ingredient. It is through our humanity that we serve the story, the character, and the theater itself. We serve by bringing our humanity into the work, and we create from the deepest part of ourselves—our soul.
