I plan to focus the Acting II on Biomechanics (Meyerhold) and Acting III on Method (Stanislavsky). Use the BioMX webpages to save time in class from my lectures on acting theory. The use of Method Acting and Biomechanics Forums is required.

But the artist of the stage must be the master of his own inspiration, and must know how to call it forth at the hour announced on the posters of the theatre. This is the chief secret of our art.
