Image via WikipediaActing is storytelling. Most communication is non-verbal, and the details provided by a talented actor would require volumes to communicate in words, were it even possible. But of course the point of actors (and their talent) is that they do what is not possible any other way; the subtleties communicated by acting are fantastically complex and nuanced. But the most powerful and effective actors are also focussed on telling a story, not just in providing the embodiment of details and persona.
Directing is storytelling. We should expect to see movement between the roles of actor and director.
