The Stanislavski System: The Professional Training Of An Actor (Paperback)

A must for any actor, director, or teacher of theatre. Ms. Moore's excessive praise of Stanislavski gets a bit old, but it's a much better option to read this reader's digest version of his method than his actual reading, which is impossible to get through.

Any human being interested/involved/connected or just want to know how and actor should conduct themselves should read this play. Through explaining the teachings of the patriarch of western theater reform (Constantin Stanislavski)in many ways just shows us whats right under our nose in our acting p...more...

I gave it four stars because she knew Stanislavski and kept it to a system as opposed to the later method. The system is timeless and ageless. The Method is of a period. Although I gave this work 4 stars, I do believe it is best to go back to Stanislavski and his seminal work The Actor Prepares.

The definitive guide to training actors from the man who invented the METHOD.

Interesting book about effective techniques in acting written by the most famous director from Russia.

"Love the art in yourself, not yourself in the art."

Brilliant training for the actor

Though it is arguable Moore's take on Stanislavski is more akin to the initial interpretations made by the American movement we now call Method, than what, come the end of his life, Stanislavki's felt was at the core of his teachings, there are many exercises here that will prove helpful to the young actor. Especially those involving "zone of silence" scene situations.
