Stanislavski System
Mon, 11 Sept 2006, 05:34 pmHey, 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.
" Precise and Accurate ?"
Tue, 12 Sept 2006, 10:53 pmThe intention behind my description was to give a very BASIC idea of Stanisklavski. I know from personal experience that when I first heard of it when I myself was in Yr 11 I had no idea what it was all about .I was not intending to be precise or outline every aspect of his life and theories as that would have most probably lead to even more confusion. And as for the comment that it is not accurate, what may I ask is not accurate about it. Stanisklavski was a drama practitioner in early 1900's . True... He actually started in the very late 1800's ( 1888 to be "precise") but his techniques gained fame and recognition in the 1900's.
His theories are to do with realistic theatre. Also true, while some techniques may be able to be used with other styles it is mostly realism and naturalism to which they apply. " Stanislavski's System focused on the development of realistic characters and stage worlds" ( quote from wikipedia).The methods mentioned are correct, except that I wrote effective not affective... a simple mistake caused by lack of attention and careless typing, most people do occasionly make them. These methods help you to develop characters--- extremely true and accurate. And do exercises based on these theories , based on improvisation... also true, something that I was taught by my Drama Studies teacher who has a degree in funnily enough Drama Studies and has years of theatre experience. I fail to see what was inaccuarte about my description. Yes it was meant to be brief and basic, not a university level explanation.
