Gurus: The Story of Acting, from Stanislavsky to Succession
"How did actors learn to be truthful? Who taught them, and who taught the teachers?"
The Story of Acting traces the invisible lineage connecting the great teachers and practitioners of the modern stage. Hosted by Jeff Zinn, each episode illuminates a pivotal figure or moment in the one-hundred-year history of how actors are trained — and transformed.
From Rudolf Steiner's philosophy to Stella Adler's rebellion, from Michael Chekhov's spiritual imagination to the Juilliard Drama Division's founding, the podcast draws on rare archival sources, original interviews with celebrated actors, and decades of research.
