DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Rainer Werner Fassbinder Germany

His prolific output and theatrical background meant he frequently documented the creation and rehearsal of performance within his films, treating cinema as an extension of staged rehearsal.

 Pedro Almodóvar Spain

His films consistently celebrate theatrical performance and the rehearsal/preparation of identity and emotion, with characters constantly 'performing' and adjusting their roles within elaborate narrative structures.
