The difference between Acting and Performance

The Difference between Acting and Performance

The Dictionary Meaning of Both the words:
1. Acting: Art of representing a character on a stage or before a camera by means of movement, gesture, and intonation. It is the work of an actor or actress, which is a person in theatre, television, film, or any other storytelling medium who tells the story by portraying a character and, usually, speaking or singing the written text or play.
2. Performance: It is the art of doing something successfully; using knowledge as distinguished from merely possessing it;


My Understanding:

First of all, it’s quite interesting that there is such an argument between acting and performance because as of I am concerned that is pretty much it. But still, if this issue is looked into deeply there are quite a lot of different points of views.
Acting, as the definition depicts, is the art of presenting a character, a role which is given to an actor by who so ever concerned. Acting is what is done on a daily basis. But performance, is what is been appreciated by the audience. It’s that part of the act which is presented by the actor using the acting skills. .

For example, after watching a movie, we always commend on the actor performance and not on the acting because it’s always that the performance that is more appreciated than the acting skills. For a person who looks at making a animated movie, then it’s taking the right performance and put it in the right place. The acting skill just enlarges our thinking and broadens our creativity by a large extent.
