	American Masters . Constantin Stanislavsky \| PBS
		The Stanislavsky System, or "the method," as it has become known, held that an actor’s main responsibility was to be believed (rather than recognized or understood).
		Stanislavsky believed that an actor needed to take his or her own personality onto the stage when they began to play a character.
		Later Stanislavsky concerned himself with the creation of physical entries into these emotional states, believing that the repetition of certain acts and exercises could bridge the gap between life on and off the stage.

		The American Method is distinct from Stanislavsky's work, however, mostly because of the difficulty publishing and traveling between the USA and the USSR during the early years of the Soviet regime.
		Stanislavsky's most revolutionary principle was simply that acting could be taught as a system; that it is not achieved purely through some mixture of talent, intuition, and inspiration.
		Stanislavsky spent the last few decades of his life altering and revising his ideas on acting, but several general principles are unchanging.

		Stanislavsky suggests the magic "if" as a clue for how an actor should melt himself into a role.
		For example, one of the most important techniques Stanislavsky developed was emotional recall, in which an actors turn to their own experiences or pasts to find feelings similar to those of their characters.
		In this context, Russian actor and theatre director Yevgeni Vakhtangov pushed Stanislavsky's theory to an extreme, saying that "it is the actor's life, and not necessarily the role, that inspires" (qtd.

	Improvisation : Improvise
		Improv comedy troupes often perform regularly (the most famous is Chicago's Second City[?]), using a series of games as an excuse to exercise the basic acting skills taught in improv.
		Most importantly, according to the dominant acting theories of Constantine Stanislavsky, is that an actor improvising a scene must be trusting his own instincts.
		According to Stanislavsky (see method acting), an actor must use his own instincts to define a characters response to internal and external stimuli.

		By working of their plays as actors we will be learning much about the development of naturalism as a literary style and an acting theory.
		Ibsen had a profound influence on Victorian society and was a proponent of "realistic acting" and Chekhov's contemporary, Constantine Stanislavsky, a co-founder of the Moscow Art Theatre was the pioneer of "method acting".
		Our approach will be to take one major play by each playwright and explore it through scenework, then to look at two or three other plays by the same writer, as well as doing dramaturgical reports on the period and place of the drama.

		Stanislavsky turned Chekhov's delicate comedic character studies into tragedies, and Chekhov protested the treatment until his dying day.
		Stanislavsky, and his American disciples, have downplayed the melodrama by emphasizing the philosophical malaise they perceived to be an essential element of the Russian Soul.
		The brooding boredom and the Vodka-induced cynicism of Chekhov's people produces eloquent dialogue and sometimes brutal humor, but throughout his plays there is an atmosphere of tolerance and even affection for the folly of his characters.

		Developed out of the Stanislavsky method of realistic acting, The Group was the first permanent theatre company to bring this style to America, transforming the face of American acting.
		As The Group developed their system of training, Lee Strasburg became enamored with emotional memory – a theory that Constantine Stanislavsky eventually discounted because it required that actors bring personal and sometimes painful experiences into their craft.
