"You have to know iambic pentameter! You must!".
Let's start with the text, if I speak it aren't I running into the pentameter close enough? It is after all written that way.
"You need to understand the text!" No, I do not. I just need to study the text a lot.
"But you need to perform..." If I'm to perform with the meter in mind, how am I not behaving like every other actor there is? That brings us back to the text, shouldn't I be good enough to form coherent thoughts out of the text Shakespeare wrote without consulting a rule book? At the end of the day words come out of mouths.
