Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
An artistic profession that performs in theatrical productions staged in theaters and elsewhere, acting based on the script.
Description
Stage actors perform in theatrical productions on stages in theaters or halls, expressing roles based on scripts and directing plans. They undergo casting through auditions, script readings and blocking rehearsals, and training in voice and physical expression. During performances, they convey the story in unity with the audience. Collaboration with fellow performers and staff is essential, and while they experience the fulfillment of completing a work by flexibly responding to the director's instructions, it also involves physical and mental strain from long rehearsals and performances.
Future Outlook
With the reevaluation of cultural arts activities and regional revitalization, demand for stage arts is expected, but it is susceptible to the impact of infectious diseases and economic conditions. There is a possibility that new opportunities for activity will increase with the expansion of digital streaming and international co-productions.
