Sonia Moore [Konstantin Stanislavski] – The Stanislavski Method – First Edition 1960
£385.00
A first edition, first printing published by Viking in 1960. A near fine book without inscriptions with the top stain present. In the very good clipped wrapper with wear corners and to the spine tips, with some creasing.
The Stanislavski Method, developed by Russian actor and director Konstantin Stanislavski, is a system of acting that emphasises emotional truth, psychological realism, and character immersion. It encourages actors to draw from personal experiences, use the “magic if” (imagining themselves in a character’s situation), and analyse objectives and motivations. The method introduced techniques like emotional memory, given circumstances, and subtext to create authentic performances. It influenced modern acting, shaping techniques used in Method Acting by Lee Strasberg. Stanislavski’s approach revolutionised theatre and film, promoting naturalism and deep character engagement, making performances more believable and emotionally compelling for audiences.
