56m · Two Guys Talking Craft · 11 Nov 15:55

Our good pal Adam from @unstoppableactingstudio is getting settled in his new home in Dubai, so with his blessing, we are plugging ahead with our mission to bring you all quality discussions about the craft of acting.

It gives me great pleasure on this day, November 11, 2022, which is Veterans Day here in the US, to welcome Ben Grimes from "The Breach" Podcast and the Riverside Actors Theatre in Arkansas, as our guest co-host on today's episode where we will dive into how Ben's unique background in theater and the military and how that has helped him create an important and meaningful theater company that is focused on serving those that have served.

Ben founded a theater company called Riverside Actors Theatre which is an organization that is committed to the concept of theater with a purpose. Theater that is practiced as a public service and does much more than entertain. Theater that connects, advocates, illuminates and heals.

The Riverside Actors Theatre believes theatre can be used to transform lives, to bring attention to social issues, and to make our community better. The Riverside Actors Theatre is a professional ensemble committed to the central Arkansas community, passionate about development of local artists, and ready to tell stories that do more than entertain.

Two Guys Talking Craft - Episode 53 - "Brian Timoney: The Man & The Method" (Guest Co-Host Brian Timoney)

Our good pal Adam from @actingcoachdubai  (Formerly called Unstoppable Acting Studio) is getting settled in his new home in Dubai, so with his blessing, we are plugging ahead with our mission to bring you all quality discussions about the craft of acting.

It gives me great pleasure to welcome Brian Timoney from Brian Timoney Actor's Studio (https://www.briantimoneyacting.co.uk/) in London as our guest co-host on today's episode where we will dive into Brian's background and his approach to Method Acting.

I recently had the opportunity to attend a 2-week virtual Method Acting training class that Brian delivered in January 2023 and I was so impressed with the safe and nurturing environment that Brian created for actors to explore The Method. 

On this episode 53, we talked about the history of Method Acting, discussed a bit about a few of the lesser known, but massively important acting figureheads from the Moscow Art Theatre [specifically Nikolai Demidov and Eugene Vakhtangov], explored an aspect of the actor's process that could be considered quite controversial to many actors and teachers, and finally chatted about one of Brian's approaches called "Fantastic Realism"

A jam-packed episode for you to enjoy.

Thank you all for your ongoing support of the Two Guys Talking Craft Podcast.

Until next time...

Stay Safe & Stay Creative My Fellow Travelers,

Jared & Adam

Two Guys Talking Craft - Episode 50 - Michael Chekhov Acting Technique (Part 3)

In this final episode of the 3 part series exploring the Michael Chekhov Acting Technique, @actorsapproachcrafttoolbox gives a third absolute masterclass into Michael Chekhov's World.

We explore Character Techniques that look at the Character vs The Ideal Image of the Character.

Then we dive in deep to Areas of Focus.

After that, we layer previously explored techniques shared in episodes 48 and 49 to create a complex and deeply connected experience.

Next, we dive into the use and application of Costumes and Props and explore the Tradition Use, a Non-Traditional Use and an Innovative/Unique Use.

Then we jump into the techniques of Atmospheres and Radiation.

The last two techniques we explore are lesser know and they are Directional Imagery and Cycles - ***these are true hidden gems in the Chekhov system and you will likely never come across them in any other Chekhov training program, so pay close attention!
