Theatre Studies; Acting techniques

Series: Bloomsbury Revelations

No one has had a greater influence on acting as we know it than

Stanislavski. His 'method' - or interpretations of it - has become the

central force determining almost every performance we see on stage or

screen.

In My Life in Art Stanislavski recalls his theatrical career,

from his early experiences in Rubinstein's Russian Musical Society to

his final triumphs with Chekhov at the Moscow Art Theatre. His vivid

accounts of his own most famous productions including 'The Seagul' and 'Uncle Vanya' are interspersed with anecdotes of the famous - of Kommisarjevksy, Tolstoy, Gorky, and of the Moscow visit of Isadora Duncan and Gordon Craig.

Constantin Stanislavski (1863-1938) was a Russian director who sought 'inner realism' by insisting that his actors find the truth within themselves and 'become' the characters they portrayed. His work brought international fame to the Moscow Art Theatre, which he had co-founded with Vladimir Nemirovich-Danchenko in 1897. During his early years at the Moscow Art Theatre, he directed the first productions of Chekhov's Uncle Vanya (1899), Three Sisters (1901) and The Cherry Orchard (1904) as well as a series of celebrated versions of Shakespeare. Stanislavski toured America with the company in 1923. He is the author of An Actor Prepares, Building A Character and Creating A Role, all published in the Bloomsbury Revelations series.
