What is the through line of action?Show answer
The through line is the continuous thread of objectives that runs from the start of the role to its end, all serving the super-objective. It keeps a performance coherent so the character seems to be one consistent person pursuing one overarching want, rather than a series of disconnected moments. Mapping the through line is how an actor stops a long role from drifting.
