Constantin Stanislavski
Constantin Sergeyevich Stanislavski was a renowned Russian actor and theatre director who revolutionized modern acting.
He developed a systematic approach to realistic acting, known as the Stanislavski system, which became widely influential in Western theatre.
His methods emphasize psychological realism, emotional memory, and disciplined character development.
Stanislavski's work bridged naturalism and avant-garde techniques, drawing from diverse fields like psychology and yoga.
He viewed acting as a serious artistic endeavor requiring dedication and self-analysis.
His system has been widely adopted and adapted, influencing both socialist realism in the USSR and psychological realism in the United States, though some misinterpret his holistic approach as purely psychological.
