www.clydefitchreport.com: I’ve always believed that dance is an art form best experienced live. Watching a show any other way feels too constrained: it lacks the spontaneity and precariousness that make the performing arts so thrilling. But, given my excitement for a couple of upcoming dance and musical theater films, as well as a sensational recent experience with virtual reality that I had, I think I may be changing my mind.

Directors and actors in the entertainment industry often mention the difference between stage acting and film acting in terms of vocal, facial expressions, liveness, actor audience relationship and so on. However, it did not occur to me until I read this article that theatre dancers appearing in films to act dancers might be a special case. Nowadays, many dance shows on TV have 360-degree cameras. Theater dancers are already getting used to not performing on the traditional theatre box with three walls.
In addition, I believe dancers being cast as the dancers is an ideal situation. It reminds me of a shock I had when I found out that Jenny Lind was cast only for her voice in The Greatest Showman. On the other hand, I do understand the casting circumstances, considering popularity, looks, and connections. Adding to the keyword the article presents, agency, I believe the sales promotion of theatrical and technical actors is important. It would not only benefit dancers to explore new possibilities, but also video industry to promote diversity.
