пластика актёра

Russian to English Art/Literary Cinema, Film, TV, Drama
Добрый день!

Подскажите, пожалуйста, как лучше перевести термин "пластика актёра".
Actor's plastique или actor's plastics? Или есть что-то более подходящее?
Заранее спасибо!

Контекст (из описания театра имени Вахтангова):
=======================================
Его [Вахтангова] новый стиль, превращавший выразительную ***пластику актера*** почти в танец, стиль, сгущавший реальность до символа, обостренный, трагический, всегда на грани между жизнью и смертью, — ждал названия.
=========================================

Peer comment(s):

agree Leigh Mosley : I'm not saying that some form of the word "plastic" or "plasticity" is never used in this context (I don't know) but they would never be understood by the average reader. This is much better

actor's plasticity

'Plasticity' is a synonym of 'malleability' and often used to describe the human body in general and an actor's body in particular. If in doubt, please check e. g. the Barker/Trussler's article (New Theatre Quarterly 48, Vol. 12, No. 4, available in Google books).
Example sentence:

The problem of the actor\'s plasticity is examined as a specific manifestation of the human plasticity.
