Two Guys Talking Craft - Episode 51 - Building Characters Through Animals (Guest Co-Host Seth Michael May)

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.

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!
