Improvisation for the Theater - Part 3 (Featuring Becky Fleckner)

Part 3 of my conversation with Becky Fleckner about Viola Spolin's Improvisation for the Theater

Show Notes

The exciting conclusion to this three-part episode! This one is a little shorter than previous episodes, but we still cover a lot of ground, discussing Spolin's directory of games, objective stage reality, Lin-Manuel Miranda, and Lorraine Hansberry. Becky also takes an opportunity to plug her group, Artists-in-Place, which she co-founded with her partner. I've also provided a link to the theatre where you can see Becky perform as Little Stone in Eurydice, directed by Shannon Hill. Thank you for joining the conversation!

What is Rooms & Reckonings: An Acting Podcast?

Focusing on a different acting theory book every episode, a guest host and I will summarize it, highlight the big ideas, weed out what's outdated or problematic, and figure out if the theories are still useful for the 21st Century. There are a thousand acting techniques out there; this should narrow things down whether you're an actor, student, teacher, or just interested theatre.
