An Actor’s Physicality
from Places, Everyone
How does physicality shape an actor’s work? Noah Robbins can speak to that. He was a child dancer who performed at the Kennedy Center in annual dance productions led by choreographer Debbie Allen. From there he went straight to Broadway and has been busy in theater and TV ever since. Throughout his acting career, Noah’s dance experience has been beneficial, allowing him to channel the physicality needed to clarify his characters’ movements, demeanors, and styles. In other words, dance has made Noah a better actor, and it shows in his work on Amazon’s “Forever”; Netflix’s “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt”, and the play “Clarkson” which ran this past season in New York. So how does dance inform the physicality of an actor? That’s today’s episode.
