[48] The roots of the Method of Physical Action stretch back to Stanislavski's earliest work as a director (in which he focused consistently on a play's action) and the techniques he explored with Vsevolod Meyerhold and later with the First Studio of the MAT before the First World War (such as the experiments with improvisation and the practice of anatomising scripts in terms of bits and tasks).

Its where Chekhovs The Seagull was rehearsed before premiering at the Moscow Art Theatre during the companys 1898-99 season, its first season. Benedetti offers a vivid portrait of the poor quality of mainstream theatrical practice in Russia before the MAT: The script meant less than nothing. Recognizing that theatre was at its best when deep content harmonized with vivid theatrical form, Stanislavsky supervised the First Studios production of William Shakespeares Twelfth Night in 1917 and Nikolay Gogols The Government Inspector in 1921, encouraging the actor Michael Chekhov in a brilliantly grotesque characterization. Actors, Stanislavsky felt, had to have a common training and be capable of an intense inner identification with the characters that they played, while still remaining independent of the role in order to subordinate it to the needs of the play as a whole. RW: It was changing quite rapidly. It was to be, above all else, an ensemble theatre in which everyone worked together for common goals. Thus encouraged, Stanislavsky staged his first independent production, Leo Tolstoys The Fruits of Enlightenment, in 1891, a major Moscow theatrical event. In a rehearsal process, at first, the "line" of experiencing will be patchy and broken; as preparation and rehearsals develop, it becomes increasingly sustained and unbroken. Stanislavski's "Magic If" describes an ability to imagine oneself in a set of fictional circumstances and to envision the consequences of finding oneself facing that situation in terms of action.

He was born into a theater loving family and his maternal grandmother was a French actress and his father created a personal stage on the families' estate.

Knebel, Maria. Although initially an awkward performer, Stanislavsky obsessively worked on his shortcomings of voice, diction, and body movement. People always want one definition of naturalism and one definition of realism Stanislavski's own ideas were very fluid and open to artistic interpretation. "[7], Thanks to its promotion and development by acting teachers who were former students and the many translations of Stanislavski's theoretical writings, his system acquired an unprecedented ability to cross cultural boundaries and developed a reach, dominating debates about acting in the West. Not all emotional experiences are appropriate, therefore, since the actor's feelings must be relevant and parallel to the character's experience. Benedetti (1999a, 360) and Magarshack (1950, 388391).

[16], Throughout his career, Stanislavski subjected his acting and direction to a rigorous process of artistic self-analysis and reflection. It is a theory of divisions and conflicts between the conscious and unconscious mind, between different parts of a hypothetical psychic apparatus, and between the self and civilization. Carnicke (2000, 3031), Gordon (2006, 4548), Leach (2004, 1617), Magarshack (1950, 304306), and Worrall (1996, 181182).

She suggests that Moore's approach, for example, accepts uncritically the teleological accounts of Stanislavski's work (according to which early experiments in emotion memory were 'abandoned' and the approach 'reversed' with a discovery of the scientific approach of behaviourism). [101], "Action, 'if', and 'given circumstances'", "emotion memory", "imagination", and "communication" all appear as chapters in Stanislavski's manual An Actor's Work (1938) and all were elements of the systematic whole of his approach, which resists easy schematisation.
