What I've learnt over the last few Skype and campus sessions is that I shouldn't be reading literature to affirm my own ideas, it should be the ideas of others that make me think and further develop what I think. So, with this in mind I began to read streams of articles on actors and theatre techs. What I noticed is the cross over of skills between the two professions, the basic groundwork for each job is very similar. So, for an easy visual representation I created a Venn Diagram.
In red ink are the skills that some consider to be 'technical' but I believe they fit into both categories.
In blue ink are the skills mainly associated with performing but again, fit into both categories.
Of course, I couldn't list every skill under the sun because the diagram would be huge! However, if anyone thinks I have missed vital skills/crossovers or wants to challenge/ask why I put some skills where they are, please comment below or get in touch. Your opinion is very valuable.
