Description
First published 150 years after its author's birth, this comprehensive guide to Stanislavski's approach to acting offers a clear and accessible account of his system from training to performance.
The book explores key concepts such as action, interaction, and objectives, as well as the use of imagination, observation, and active analysis. It also covers physical and vocal expression of character, and how these elements come together in the actor's process.
Written for actors from an actor's perspective, this updated edition includes new exercises, biographies, and a further chapter on The Character, making it a valuable resource for students, professionals, and teachers alike.
