* method acting (per Stanislavsky) - famously used by Dustin Hoffman; made fun of during a cameo by (director) Sydney Pollack in the film Tootsie
* Brechtian acting (has goals opposite to "method acting") - Mother Courage, for example, employed large captions to distract audience from believing in the characters being shown
