The Method Approach to Acting

There is some controversy among method scholarship about whether there is something inherent to the method that is harmful to women and people of color. Poitier, for example, I don't think he could have navigated the minefield of representation in the 60s without the method. The emphasis on subtext can reveal what's going on under the surface while hiding it from the rest of the audience. If you're doing room changes quickly because like Paris Burando, your body often does not change with them.
