The Poor Theatre

The Poor Theatre is an approach to acting and theater that emphasizes simplicity and focus on the actor's craft over elaborate sets or costumes. Developed by Konstantin Stanislavski, it advocates for minimal scenery, natural performances, and a direct connection between actors and the audience. The goal is to create a truthful, immersive experience without relying on expensive production elements, allowing the performance itself to convey the story and emotions. This approach encourages actors to use their skills and imagination, making theater more accessible and authentic.
