Assignment #6: Performer's History
Studying the careers of performers we admire can benefit us in many ways. Some of the benefits are:
- Educate us on the realities of show business
- Seeing the years of work behind successful careers
- Better understanding of "type" casting
Your assignment is to do an indepth study of a performer that you admire. Some ways to do research are:
- Read biographies from books or online
- Search articles from newspapers & magazines
- Look them up on IMDB and IBDB
- Find an official website or online resume
Your research questions:
- How much variety is in this person's resume?
- Do certain types of roles pop up over and over?
- What would you consider to be their "break out" role?
- What would others be surprised to learn about this person?
- What else did you learn?
Remember this is an assignment for you as a performer and not as a fan, so it will probably be most meaningful to you if you choose a performer that is similar to you in type (and gender!)
