Character profiles for a casting website. Sounds easy enough. I am finding, however, that to make the character sound appealing while maintaining truthfulness and honesty about who this character is and what they will have to do, requires quite deft thinking. Also, because our film has no dialogue, we are presented with an interesting challenge. Will actors warm to this or is dialogue a fundamental part of acting's appeal to them? It will be interesting to work with the actor's body-language alone. I believe it will suit my sensibility a little more, and given my time dancing with The Australian Ballet and the years of dance training I have accumulated, I believe working with the bodies of these characters will be an enjoyable and interesting experience.
I have three character profiles to write up. The man. The Woman. the Waitress.
