The Stanislavski “system” is rarely taught as a system, rather it is broken up into fragments. This paper explores Stanislavski’s overall aim for the actor: “experiencing” or “remaining alive” on stage, which is recognized by many practitioners as a common goal. It identifies the misconception among practitioners, that by learning fragments, the actor is learning the “system.” The pedagogy of Stanislavski is often embedded in the teacher or trainer – even if they are unaware of it.read more
