Actor performance is central to our cinematic experience. In this workshop we turn our attention to the way great acting shapes that experience by celebrating the career of Giulietta Masina (Variety Lights (1950), Nights of Cabiria (1958), Juliet of the Spirits (1965) and her extraordinary performance in Federico Fellini’s international breakout success, La strada (1954)). Analysing key clips from the films, we assess Masina’s acting and the range of skills and techniques she deploys in bringing her character to life. Paying homage to the expertise of Giulietta Masina gives us an ideal opportunity to assess exactly what actors do and how their work shapes our understanding of the cinematic worlds they help to create.
