Testimonials:
“Natela is an excellent teacher, specializing in the Russian school of acting, notably the important acting techniques of Konstantin Stanislavsky. She works with great honesty, integrity, and is an inspirational teacher."
- Tony Knight, Head of Acting, National Institute of Dramatic Art (NIDA).
"In just six weeks, Natela's course and her no fuss, direct approach, gave me the tools and the confidence to power through a gruelling audition process and score a lead role in the upcoming US Telemovie of the week: - Dynasty (Behind the Scenes). I would highly recommend any of her courses to all actors - either amateur or professional, beginner or experienced. No one teaches Stanislavsky like this Lady can!"
- Ritchie Singer, Actor.
“Natela, I just wanted to thank you for the Monologue and Audition Techniques course. I actually did the Treplev monologue recently for an audition that I did for a part in an amateur production of the Australian play Dimboola. I got the part and appeared as the character Bayonet. The show was sold out both nights (130 people per night). I would like to do another class in future…”

Stanislavski
Sat, 5 Aug 2006, 10:58 amWhat is generally called "The Method" was developed in New York at The Actor's Studio by a teacher called Lee Strasburg (spelling?) from the work of Stanislavski. Marilyn Munroe and Dustin Hoffman are among the many famous actors who studied there. Stanislavski developed what was called the naturalistic school and produced the plays of Anton Checkhov (spelling?) in Moscow. Anton Checkhov's nephew Michael also ran with Stanislavski's ideas and moved to the US and taught, among others Yul Brynner.
To appreciate Stanislavski you can either read his works, "An Actor Prepares" is brilliant, or you can go to a book called "Stanislavski on the Art of The Stage" translated and commentary by David Magarshack.
Stanislavski believed in the truth of experience and suggested that actors should draw on "emotional memory" to create the reality of each moment on stage. Strasburg took it one step further and suggested that an actor should become completely immersed in the character thus creating truth.
Michael Chekhov went off in a completely different direction using physicality to establsih truth much more than the others did. His book is called "To The Actor" most of these schools were largely ignored in the UK (and also therefore Australia) till after the war.
Sorry this has turned into a lecture.
