Ghadir Al-Sabti on the producers: “They knew my age and destroyed me in the role of the mother.”
Ghadir Al-Sabti’s Views on Acting and Production
Ghadir Al-Sabti recently shared her thoughts on acting and production during an interview. She expressed frustration with how some producers limit her roles to that of a mother, despite her youthful appearance. She believes that producers often prioritize their profits over artists’ rights.
In her interview on “Kuwait Nights,” Al-Sabti said, “The producer drives the best car with our money.” She pointed out that artists work hard but often struggle to receive fair compensation. She explained that in Arab and foreign productions, producers should look beyond age and focus on talent and looks.
Al-Sabti also discussed her absence in Ramadan plays, stating that she did not find a role that excited her. She emphasized that her absence was not due to her personal life or any affiliations with particular groups in the industry.
Teaching Acting
Al-Sabti highlighted the evolution of acting education. She said it is no longer just about loud shouting. Instead, it has become more nuanced, focusing on personality analysis and psychological dimensions.
While teaching at the Higher Institute of Dramatic Arts, she promotes “quiet acting.” This style encourages students to act without relying on their voices. Al-Sabti aims to challenge her students to improve and to ensure that those unsuitable for acting are guided appropriately.
She noted that acting in theater is different from television. Theater requires strong improvisation skills and the ability to connect with the audience. For her, acceptance in acting goes beyond mere looks; it involves an innate quality that resonates with the audience.
In summary, Al-Sabti’s insights reveal her passion for acting and her commitment to nurturing new talent. She advocates for fairness in the industry and strives to elevate the standards of acting education.
