Description
Stanislavski in Rehearsal offers an intimate and insightful look at the development of the famous Stanislavski method. Vasili Toporkov's account is based on his own experiences as an outsider invited to join the Moscow Art Theatre, where he was forced to retrain as an actor under the legendary director's guidance. Through a decade-long period from 1928 to 1938, Toporkov chronicles Stanislavski's work as a director and provides a unique biographical sketch of the man behind the method. This vivid account reveals Stanislavski as a complex personality - funny, furious, kind, ruthless, encouraging, and exacting - driven by a relentless pursuit of artistic perfection. By exploring the inner workings of Stanislavski's 'system' and his approach to rehearsal, Toporkov sheds light on the enduring legacy of this influential method.
