Strasberg Method

The Strasberg Method, developed by actor and director Lee Strasberg, is a technique for actors that emphasizes emotional truth and personal experience. It encourages performers to draw on their own feelings and memories to create authentic portrayals of characters. By using exercises such as improvisation and sense memory, actors learn to access deep emotions and connect with their roles more profoundly. This method helps performers cultivate a genuine emotional life on stage, aiming for a more naturalistic and relatable performance that resonates with audiences. It has been influential in American theater and film, shaping modern acting practices.
