Overall, I feel like this is written more plainly. This really puts everything into perspective.Thank you!! Stanislavski s system has dominated actor-training in the West since his writings were first translated into English in the 1920s and 30s. :].This site was exactly what I was looking for! i really couldnt get my head around all an actor prepares but these notes broke it down! Choose some physical objective! Stanislavski was more complicated for me due to the psychological side. Great stuff.AS AN ACTOR IN AFRICA STRIVE TO BREAK FREE FROM THE BROAD GESTICULATIONS OF MY PEOPLE-THAT WHICH MIGHT BE CONSIDERED OVERACTING BY OTHER FOLK-FOR A MORE NATURAL FLOW.I THINK THE POINTERS HERE HAVE SHOWN ME A FEW WAYS I COULD IMPROVE ON MY ACTING.THANK YOU.Hi phil, you got any stuff on the magic if and given circumstances etc.i got an essay question here for tomoro !As an actor, how would you use Stanislavsky’s ideas on "given circumstances" and "the magic if" when preparing a role for performance.u need to put somthing about internal and external preparartion for a role everything else was well good and help me very much!!!! Margaret Atwood’s Big Sequel Answers Readers’ Questions. Although dense and at times hard to get through, Stanislavski knows what he is talking about. I had never much thought about theory or process before that point.Everything you thought you knew is wrong. For quite a while I interpreted the "beauty" part as cute or pretty - surface, thin, possibly fake.Commenting is disabled on posts once they’re 30 days old.Posted by Sophie on 9 June 2005, 10:07 am |,Posted by wayne king on 9 June 2005, 11:22 am |,Posted by caroline on 10 June 2005, 11:08 am |,Posted by lucy on 10 June 2005, 12:27 pm |,Posted by Phil Gyford on 10 June 2005, 12:43 pm |,Posted by Joy on 14 September 2005, 5:14 pm |,Posted by isha on 22 September 2005, 6:24 am |,Posted by Sam on 24 September 2005, 7:55 pm |,Posted by Alex on 25 September 2005, 1:00 pm |,Posted by Emerald on 18 October 2005, 10:26 am |,Posted by Paul on 21 November 2005, 2:51 pm |,Posted by James on 22 November 2005, 8:10 pm |,Posted by Phil Gyford on 22 November 2005, 10:24 pm |,Posted by Elisa on 24 November 2005, 5:11 pm |,Posted by yemi Blaq on 30 November 2005, 10:47 am |,Posted by John on 11 December 2005, 4:29 pm |,Posted by Leanne Maunsell on 15 December 2005, 11:34 am |,Posted by Rei on 19 December 2005, 11:11 pm |,Posted by Jegajee on 26 December 2005, 10:14 pm |,Posted by David Moss on 10 January 2006, 7:51 pm |,Posted by Tiana on 3 March 2006, 11:25 pm |,Posted by Phil on 10 April 2006, 3:13 pm |,Posted by Tom Chamberlin on 22 April 2006, 3:09 pm |,Posted by Siobhan on 26 April 2006, 2:07 pm |,Posted by lizzy on 11 May 2006, 5:43 pm |,Posted by Becky on 12 May 2006, 2:01 am |,Posted by Bobbi on 5 June 2006, 4:06 pm |,Posted by Joey Driven on 5 June 2006, 8:49 pm |,Posted by emily on 8 June 2006, 6:46 pm |,Posted by kash on 19 July 2006, 10:30 am |,Posted by phil m on 24 September 2006, 8:04 pm |,Posted by Matthew de Klerk on 30 September 2006, 3:50 pm |,Posted by Lara on 9 October 2006, 11:12 am |,Posted by Ana on 23 October 2006, 11:25 am |,Posted by Louise on 29 October 2006, 11:56 am |,Posted by Patrick Tytgat on 15 December 2006, 4:45 pm |,Posted by jake on 18 December 2006, 3:23 pm |,Posted by Phil Gyford on 18 December 2006, 4:06 pm |,Posted by jake on 20 December 2006, 5:24 pm |,Posted by Bobbi on 9 January 2007, 11:38 am |,Posted by Matthew Montgomery on 15 January 2007, 7:33 pm |,Posted by Paul Ascough on 16 January 2007, 10:32 pm |,Posted by Danny on 16 January 2007, 10:39 pm |,Posted by Phil Gyford on 17 January 2007, 4:05 pm |,Posted by Anon on 27 January 2007, 2:02 pm |,Posted by Siobhan on 30 January 2007, 1:27 pm |,Posted by Aimee on 31 January 2007, 4:31 pm |,Posted by Adam on 14 March 2007, 1:38 pm |,Posted by Teagan on 20 March 2007, 10:20 am |,Posted by kay on 22 March 2007, 1:42 pm |,Posted by Vikki on 30 March 2007, 2:49 pm |,Posted by Gary Zahalsky on 5 April 2007, 9:56 pm |,Posted by Jessica on 29 April 2007, 9:54 pm |,Posted by Kayli on 15 May 2007, 4:09 am |,Posted by Phil Gyford on 15 May 2007, 6:18 am |,Posted by Cezar Lazar on 6 June 2007, 6:42 pm |,Posted by dave on 7 June 2007, 10:06 pm |,Posted by Passy S on 15 July 2007, 10:56 am |,Posted by Wayne Ker on 31 August 2007, 4:58 am |,Posted by Alan on 24 October 2007, 4:25 pm |,Posted by Imogen on 20 November 2007, 9:31 am |,Posted by Lauren on 23 November 2007, 9:48 am |,Posted by Rachael on 3 January 2008, 4:57 pm |,Posted by Sean on 5 January 2008, 8:49 pm |,Posted by Lucy on 8 January 2008, 6:03 pm |,Posted by Nikole on 21 January 2008, 12:08 am |,Posted by Seth on 15 April 2008, 9:11 pm |,Posted by maria bello on 3 June 2008, 9:06 am |,Posted by sinead on 5 November 2008, 8:25 pm |,Posted by Sarah on 9 December 2008, 3:06 am |,Posted by Phil Gyford on 9 December 2008, 8:59 am |,Posted by julieta on 17 December 2008, 8:10 pm |,Posted by Slate on 18 December 2008, 5:19 am |,Posted by Bex on 1 January 2009, 8:10 pm |,Posted by Mazz on 11 January 2009, 3:54 pm |,Posted by Katya Baker on 14 January 2009, 4:50 am |,Posted by katie h on 23 January 2009, 2:52 am |,Posted by Carl.Appa.Smidge on 4 February 2009, 1:38 pm |,Posted by Dasher on 16 May 2009, 8:46 pm |,Posted by audrey on 11 August 2009, 5:46 am |,Posted by annabel lee on 22 August 2009, 1:34 am |,Posted by Kelly on 27 August 2009, 8:51 pm |,Posted by Jas on 3 October 2009, 12:55 pm |,Posted by Rafael on 1 December 2009, 8:18 pm |,Posted by Bella on 12 December 2009, 5:40 pm |,Posted by PJ on 28 December 2009, 5:06 pm |,Posted by Ami on 2 February 2010, 4:03 pm |,Posted by me on 22 February 2010, 2:47 am |,Posted by teichfe on 10 June 2010, 11:05 pm |,Posted by Punit Kaur Raina on 10 July 2010, 11:19 am |,Posted by Catherine on 17 August 2010, 5:05 pm |,Posted by Sophie on 29 August 2010, 3:02 am |,Posted by Sarah on 16 November 2010, 2:27 am |,Posted by Christopher Baker on 20 November 2010, 12:26 am |,Posted by Lara on 17 March 2011, 12:18 pm |,Posted by tafadzwa sigauke on 31 May 2011, 6:36 pm |,Posted by Bob Parson on 16 June 2011, 2:29 pm |,[seems a bit hopeful to me, but justifies why everyone in acting classes is so relentlessly, frustratingly positive about even hopeless performances],[Stuff about communicating by transmitting and receiving “rays”.
