Stanislavski was the first person to develop a cogent and practical system of acting. Throughout his life he sought the answers to inspire such fundamental questions as what is great acting and how can you find inspiration at every performance? He remains the most important influence on actor training today, and yet many of his ideas are little known, or worse, misunderstood. Stanislavski For Beginners charts the development of the Stanislavski system. It shows how it grew from his own practice as an actor and director. It includes a clear exposition of the key elements of the system and explores the Method of Physical Actions, which he worked on in the years before his death, and which he called "the result of my whole life's work". | Stanislavski For Beginners by David Allen, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
