Bao PhiYou have to communicate on a much greater scale. With a camera, you can use the flick of an eye. On stage, a lot of other things are happening that can pull focus or energy.

It's a little bit different from film.

What I'd really like to do is find a way to communicate that feeling to another person.

But if they haven't struggled with the problem and seen all the pitfalls, then they haven't really understood it.
