<![CDATA[The Science of Acting and Me]]> https://rss.com/podcasts/the-science-of-acting-and-me Science and Acting - two words that are seldom seen together, considered by most, let alone actors, to be mutually incompatible. So when Sam Kogan, a Ukrainian actor, director and theatre practitioner came to London via The Moscow University of Theatre Arts to teach his own technique, The Science of Acting, I wonder what sort of reception he was expecting? As a cocky 19 year old drama student at a college where Sam was a guest teacher, I was part of that reception..

‘This is Bullsh1t!’, I told him in the first class, pouring scorn on his ridiculous notion that science had anything to do with the lofty art of acting.

Some 30 years later I’m a professional actor and director and in spite of that first class I'm also a dedicated teacher and practitioner of The Science of Acting technique and have been for the last 20 years.

The Science of Acting and Me describes my journey learning and utilising an acting and directing technique that represents a unique, life-changing body of knowledge. From my first exposure to it, through 4 years studying at Sam’s School of the Science of Acting with its controversial tagline 'Nobody teaches better, nobody cares more.'' and continuing on into the profession, I’ll share as much as I can about The Science of Acting and my personal experiences of what became the most enlightening and fulfilling part of my life.
