Stanislavski

Konstantin Stanislavski was a Russian theatre practitioner whose work revolutionized acting techniques in the early 20th century. He developed a method focused on emotional truth and authenticity in performance, urging actors to draw on their own experiences to portray characters convincingly. His system emphasizes understanding a character’s motivations, relationships, and inner life, leading to more realistic and relatable performances. Stanislavski's ideas laid the groundwork for modern acting schools and are influential in both theatre and film, promoting a deep connection between the actor and the character.
