Interview

I am interviewing Jean McDaniel Lickson for my interview. Jean is an Associate Professor, and School of Theatre Curriculum Vitae (CV) at Florida State University.

I plan on interviewing Jean because her position guarantees her knowledge in the community and the specific focus topic. Not only is she an intriguing part of the theatre program at FSU, but she is also an experienced actor. Her experience on both sides of the table will be helpful in connecting my points from training to the real world.

Questions:

1. In your opinion, why do you believe Stanislavski's method has held against the test of time?

2. Why do you think his method and others that have derived from it are so widely used in colleges across the country?

3. Would it be safe to say that your graduates utilize the method even after graduating from FSU?

4. Why teach Stanislavski based methods over others?

5. From your experience working as an actor, do a majority of your colleagues use Stanislavski's method?

6. Why do you use Stanislavski in your work?

7. Is Stanislavski the only method today?

8. Would we be where we are today with realistic acting without Stanislavski?
