Abstract

An actor's goal is to communicate a character to an audience and this is the only necessary and defining aspect of theatre. However, the portrayal of emotion is a critical component of acting, and also seems to be one of the most difficult and complex tasks of the actor. This study examined the mirroring approach to stage performance using a film actor in the person of Taiwo Ibikunle. It is believed that the theatre speaks through the actor, so the importance of the actor to the society was examined. Furthermore, it discussed the significance of the actor as a mirror of the society and as a watchdog of the society especially as it affects their roles and its interpretation. 

A qualitative method was used in this study, using interviews, diaries, journals, and observations. The method is based chiefly on personal observation, an interview with the case study of Taiwo Ibikunle, and a library study, which inculcated an analytical research method. The interview guide comprises 19 items of questions bothering the objective of the study. 

Findings from the study showed that acting is a profession and not a mere show. It must be able to draw a line between role, personality, and reality. An actor must be able to immense and absorb his role, not totally. Theatre is a world of illusion and not reality. The actor is like a tool for correcting and informing a facilitator towards a change for the better. 

It was concluded that the actor is the mouth of society. Hence, this study brought to the attention of readers that actors are important to society and not all the scenes that they act on stage or screen are part of their character, but due to the professionalism in their work, they need to bring imagination and emotion into acting.
