Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Corpsing is actor-speak for having an unscripted fit of laughter onstage, so-called because the worst time to have the giggles is when one is playing a corpse. Corpsing doesn't necessarily mean that the material is especially funny (though, of course, it can), or that the actors aren't taking it seriously; it just happens, and even excellent actors can corpse. Stress can do that to a person. Many actors try to cover this by covering their mouth and muffling the sounds they make. When this is done, a fit of laughter can be rather haphazardly be turned into violent sobbing, with varying levels of success. Of course, that only helps if violent crying is appropriate for the scene (again, playing a corpse leaves you in trouble). |
