Blessed with a natural talent for what was written by Shakespeare and Moliére, Brian Sheppard has built on that to be one of today's most sought actors for true crime and contemporary drama. His appearances on AMC's “The Walking Dead” and NBC's longest-running show “Law & Order: SVU” have presented him as vulnerable or villainous, and always complex. When he played James Dalman on “The Blacklist”, Brian added drug-addicted, disturbed, and edgy to his acting attributes. When Brian portrayed Gary Evans, a prolific serial killer, on ID Channel's “To Catch a Killer”, he portrayed a murderer who, like Charles Manson, Jim Jones, and Richard Ramirez, was likeable, charismatic, and deeply disturbed. Not comfortable playing only one persona, Brian wears with style and skill the hats of both comedians and romantics. He did this in the pilot for “Vetted” and the indy film “Beautiful Something”. In this movie, which played to sold out audiences in San Francisco, Chicago, L.A., Philadelphia, and Tampa, Brian played a poet who writes a life-changing piece of work after confronting his former lover. For it, Brian won Best Actor at the Chicago LGBT Film Fest, as well as the Best Actor Award at Mumbai LGBT Film Fest. Prior to these, he was celebrated in the Classical acting world. Brian cultivated his Shakespearean talents at Tennessee Shakespeare Co. (TSC). His roles there included Lavatch in All's Well That Ends Well, Berowne, Richard II, John Ford, Titus Lartius, Dromio of Syracuse, Don Jon in 400: The Shakespeare Feast. Early in his career, Brian's dramatic intensity and range brought him success as the title role in Hamlet, Grumio in The Taming of the Shrew (TSC), Dorante in The Liar (Centenary Stage Co.), Caliban in The Tempest (PTDT in New York), and Jason in Rabbit Hole (NIU). Brian earned his BA in Theatre at Butler University and an MFA in acting at Northern Illinois University (NIU), where he taught fight choreography and speech/dialect with professors. After attending Moscow Theatre School, he performed in master classes led by several master teachers, including Neil Freeman, Anne Bogart, and Kristen Linklater. In 2011, inspired by his love of the Bard, Brian co-founded Plimouth Players, an all-male Shakespeare company. As an avid fly fisherman for 25 years, Brian teaches fly tying and guides fly fishermen on rivers in New York. You can see his work on City Fly. Coming for Brian are more roles in sci-fi, true crime, and the independent film world. Follow him on Instagram to stay caught up.

 Please note there is some language in this episode. The one good thing that has come out of the pandemic (for me) is that I have been given the opportunity to expand my acting community outside of my physical location.  I have taken classes at the BGB Studios in LA and have joined the Arvold Warner Studios membership in Atlanta.  This means I get to talk to even more people about craft.  Today I asked Ashley Rideaux from BGB and Ellie Clark and Evan Bergman of the Arvold Warner Studios to talk to me about the Meisner Repetition exercise.So many classes include repetition as part of the class, even if they don't include any of the other Meisner activities, that I wanted to know why.  The basic premise of the Repetition exercise is that you are focusing on the behavior of your scene partner and not focused on the words you are saying.  The words are essentially unimportant.  “It's an exercise in subtext. What we're saying isn't what matters. Ashley, Ellie, and Evan all talk about the importance of speaking your truth and putting your attention on the other person.  As Evan says, “When you put your attention on the other person, they become more important than your discomfort.” Ashley points out that the exercise is a way to prevent you from planning a map for yourself in the scene. She says, “If you can't bring truth and yourself to what it is you're offering in a scene then nobody cares…You've got to show up and be a real actualized human engaging with another person.” For her the repetition exercise helps you achieve that.  For Ellie, “it is setting you up to actually get to the art of doing and crafting and specificity.” I hope you enjoy my conversation with these wonderful teaching artists as much as I did. After graduating from SMU's Meadows School of the Arts with a BFA in Acting, Ashley did what some would call the impossible, and supported herself for years performing on regional theatre stages across the country. A few of her favorite roles include the titular role in ANTIGONE, Paulina from THE WINTER'S TALE, Ruth Younger in A RAISIN IN THE SUN, and Malcolm (among several other characters) in a six-person, all-female cast of MACBETH. Since moving to Los Angeles, she has appeared in numerous national commercials, indie projects, Annapurna Interactive‘s live action video game, TELLING LIES, THE AFFAIR, and most recently 9-1-1 and AMERICAN CRIME STORY: IMPEACHMENT. Currently she is wearing the hat of producer, writer, and content creator, and had her first digital series optioned a few years ago. Ashley is a champion of diversity, truth, and finding strength through vulnerability. When she's not acting, writing, or producing, you can find her teaching yoga, meditation, pranayama, philosophy classes, teacher trainings, workshops, and retreats all over the world. Find out more about Ashley RideauxThe BGB Studios: https://www.bramongarciabraun.com/bgb-teachers/ashley-rideauxIG: @ashleyrideauxhttps://www.yoga-with-ashley.com/blank-mpvle Ellie Clark is an Atlanta-based actress and teaching artist.

Anne Bogart's The Art of Resonance (Methuen Drama, 2021) locates the essence of theatre in the experience of resonant vibration among performers and between performers and audience members. The point of art, Bogart argues, is not to express oneself, but rather to create the conditions for "re-sounding," a process that requires both fully engaged performers and a fully engaged audience. Bogart draws on examples from music to physics to neuroscience in a book of essays that is animated by the same restless curiosity that characterizes her ground-breaking directing. This is a book for anyone interested in the profound question of why we are drawn to the theatre both as artists and as audiences. Andy Boyd is a playwright based in Brooklyn, New York. He is a graduate of the playwriting MFA at Columbia University, Harvard University, and the Arizona School for the Arts. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

“The theatre's job at its heart is to ask the question “How can we get along? How can we get along better?” So every play that was ever written that is of any worth is about that question.” This weeks' guest Anne Bogart is considered to be one of the greatest innovative directors in the modern theatre. She joins us to discuss how to cultivate and foster collaboration both in the theatre and within our own lives, talking with Susan about her evolution as an artist, the relationship between the artists and audience during a live performance, and what to expect from the performing arts now that we seem to be moving past post-modernism.

Passion or paycheck, profession or play, beauty or the butt? We tackle the art world’s opposing objectives to redeem or exploit our excrement, the politics of status (and Brad Pitt’s pet rat), the importance of whimsy, and how every poo has a story to tell. Join Shawn Shafner (The Puru) in conversation with Dan Roberts from the National Poo Museum on the Isle of Wight, just south of London.

She also talks about her family's heritage in the Navy and how theatre played a role in her life as she moved from school to school (including two years in Japan), and why theatre and the Navy are alike; her "All About Eve"-like assumption of the direction of her first show, while in high school in Rhode Island; the profound effect of seeing "Macbeth" at Trinity Rep; her journey through four colleges over five years on her way to a degree; her early work in New York, including sit-specific theatre on a shoestring; her time running the Experimental Theatre Wing at NYU, including her acclaimed production of "South Pacific" set in a veterans' mental institution; her "great and horrible" year as artistic director of Trinity Rep; how the SITI Company married the teachings of Tadashi Suzuki and the "Viewpoints" system of performance; and why she sees Violence, Terror, and Eroticism as central to the task of directing.
