Basic principles of K. Stanislavski system

Abstract

Konstantin Stanislavski — a theater director, an actor,a teacher,a theorist,a reformer of the theater. The creator of the actor system, which for 100 years has been very popular all over the world. The training in acting in the theatrical schools, studios, institutes and universities begins from the Stanislavski’s system. It can certainly be called the alphabet for actors. Previously, actors and their teachers worked without structure, blindly. Everything has changed with the advent of this system, spontaneity in work has gone forever. Constancy, organization, logic, realism became the properties of the modern system of stage education. His system cultivates what he calls the art of experiencing.It mobilizes the actor’s conscious thought in order to activate other, less controllable processes such as emotional experience and subconscious behavior. There are many different theatrical schools, you can work and learn from any of them, but thanks to the Stanislavski system we get the necessary basis of work on ourselves and on the role. The system teaches to use the main tool of each actor — our human organism. Stanislavski wrote books that are full of different, helpful trainings which deserve to be implemented so that our instrument can be improved.
