If I talk about Charles Dance I am talking about something else, something I operate and wind up and have to make an impression with and use to transmit someone else's screenplay.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I wanted to do new things with dance, adapt it to the motion picture medium.
Dance is just like film in that it allows for thoughts in movement.
I wanted to do dance with the same seriousness as art was done and acknowledged, not with the entertainment factor that is always connected to theater and film.
Dancing is like - it's another way of communicating, no?
As an actor, you really want to respect and honor the script. You want to try to be in the moment and you also realize that you're one part of a bigger picture and when they call action, you have your dance.
When something is written for you or handed to you, sometimes there's a very interesting dance as you discover what it is that's required.
Honestly, I am so ignorant of how dance works that I can't even imagine a story that you would want to tell through movement.
No dance has ever turned out the way I thought it would, because I trust enough that I can start something with some ideas and then it takes itself somewhere.
I don't like to rehearse, and the film-makers that I have been drawn to are interested in provoking something between people rather than nailing a scene in advance.
The best thing about working on a movie with dancers is that we would get to have dance parties all the time!
