	Literary Encyclopedia: Stanislavsky, Konstantin
		Stanislavski's response was to shift the emphasis from over-complex detail (still favoured by Nemirovich) to another aspect of staging which had always interested him – the creation of the mood within which the actors could work, and the physical manifestations of that mood within the actor.
		Stanislavski began writing down his techniques as early as 1906, but the emphasis was constantly changing within his work, and it was not until much later in his life that The System took on a coherent form.
		It is likely that Stanislavski's concern with the external as well as the internal form of a character had a lot to do with the tendency of his actors to employ empty theatrical gesture in their work, in a way which seemed to preclude psychological or emotional truth.

	Stanislavski
		His process of character development, the "Stanislavski Method", was the catalyst for method acting- arguably the most influential acting system on the modern stage and screen.
		Stanislavsky was born Konstantin Sergeyevich Alexeyev in Moscow on January 5, 1863, amidst the transition from the feudal serfdom of Czarist Russia under the rule of Peter the Great, to the free enterprise of the Industrial Revolution.
		Using this system, Stanislavski succeeded like no producer or director before him in translating the works of such renowned playwrights as Chekov and Gorki, whose writings were aptly suited to his method.

		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.
