Episode #1 Part 2 - Method or Madness by Robert Lewis. Part 1. Guest hosted by David Huynh.

Show Notes

Part 2 of the first episode of Rooms & Reckonings: An Acting Podcast! My guest host is David Huynh, actor, educator, producer, advocate, and good friend. We finish discussing Method or Madness by Robert Lewis. This book addresses the major ideas of the system developed by Konstantin Stanislavski along with many of the misconceptions that sprung up around it through the first half of the 20th Century. This part covers lectures 1 through 4. I also finally remember what true crime podcast I was trying to think of in the first part. Once again, check out the different projects that David is a part of. He's doing a bunch of great stuff that you'll love! Once again, as in the first part, I'm putting a shout out to A Raisin in the Sun. If you haven't watched the production, I highly encourage you to check it out.

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acting theory book every episode, a guest host and I will summarize it, highlight the big ideas, weed out what's outdated or problematic, and figure out if the theories are still useful for the 21st Century.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.
