Moderator: Harika Vedula

This panel discussion will delve into the unique and multifaceted demands actors face when moving between theatre, film, and digital media. It will highlight how each platform requires a distinct approach to performance, from the expansive and expressive gestures essential in theatre to the more subtle, nuanced delivery needed on camera. Theatre actors often rely on projecting emotion and energy to reach live audiences, while film requires an intimate connection with the camera, capturing detailed expressions and small shifts in tone.

The conversation will also explore how digital platforms, with their interactive and often fast-paced nature, challenge actors to adapt their techniques to maintain viewer engagement in an increasingly digital world. Panelists will share insights on how they modify their acting styles to suit these different settings, discussing techniques that optimize performance for each medium and the strategies they use to engage audiences, whether they are sitting in a theatre, watching on-screen, or streaming content online.
