Well, that’s what I meant and it was only said with a wink… I really do not doubt that he was a dancer in Cats, but we haven’t seen him *properly* move to music since then. It *really* is time for either a period piece with a bit of ballroom dancing (“Summer”???) or a Rom-Com. Probably no chance of the latter…
BTW – that was really an interesting insight in that blog you linked to. Movement class – could be interesting for *anyone* who occasionally has to “present” in front of people…
Yes – that’s true. I forgot about that. I think the description was sort of ballroom dancing – maybe the fox trot or something. I remember reading someplace that he liked to tango. Oh would I love to see that!
Thanks. I’ve explored that blog and find it interesting. So now I’m wondering, with his keen attention to movement and apparent knowledge of the physiology, how many of his facial expressions, that we discuss as micro expressions, are involuntary, and how many are intentional? He more or less told us in his blog post that he knows every muscle in the face.
Yes, it was a very interesting read. I wonder whether facial acting is subsumed under “movement”? I’ve always thought RA’s masterful facial acting/microexpressions were a mixture of acting instinctively and acting deliberately.
Fascinating and just makes me want even more to see and hear more of his dancing + singing abilities; really doesn’t have to be in a musical. Would love to see him in an period piece from the 30-40’s maybe with some dancing.. sigh 🙂

Cool. And nice to have confirmed that Mr A *can* actually dance 😉

That’s true. We’ve seen very little of that., unless you count the CATS video (identity still in doubt) and the scene from Urban.

Oh it is him in those rehearsal videos 😉
What I’d really want is an album, listen to him sing.

A few people were lucky enough to see him dance in the ’24 hours to put on a play’ at the Old Vic I believe he did a dance scene.

Oh, yes – heard about that… unless it was all a conspiracy 😉
