Hey, im new here...so nice to meet all of ya :D I'm a teen from S.A and am currently choosing subjects for year 11. Howevever to do drama, i have to chosse drama A or B. In drama A, it says that a majority of the work and assessment will be done on the Stanislavski system,which until now i hadn't heard of (i have been acting for 5 years). So i was just wondering if anyone here has done work on this and has any feedback on it (ie. loved or hated it). Thanks! P.s- Sorry if this isn't posted in the right spot.

hey, I'm a yr 12 Drama Studies Student from W.A. We have done a bit on Stanislavski over yr 11 and 12. Stanisklavski was a drama practitioner in the early 1900's. His theories/system is to do with realistic theatre. You create drama and characterisation through his many techniques such as effective memory, the magic if, superobjective to name just a few. These are methods that help you to develop your character. You may do exercises based on these theories, especially improvisation. Alot of his theories relate to improvisation and developing drama or a character from that. The methods are good once you get your head around all the terminology. I dunno if that helps or no .
