Creating A Role is the third book - alongside the international
bestseller An Actor Prepares and Building A Character - in the
series of influential translations that introduced Stanislavski's
acting 'system' to the English-speaking world. Here Stanislavski
describes the elaborate preparation that an actor must undergo
before the actual performance itself. Now published in the
Bloomsbury Revelations series to mark the 150th anniversary of
Stanislavski's birth, the book includes the director's analysis of
such works as Othello and Gogol's Inspector General.
Stanislavski was the first to outline a systematic approach for
using our experience, imagination and observation to create
truthful acting. 150 years after his birth, his approach is more
widely embraced and taught throughout the world - but is still
often rejected, misunderstood and misapplied.In "Acting
Stanislavski," John Gillett offers a clear, accessible and
comprehensive account of the Stanislavski approach, from the
actor's training to final performance, exploring: - ease and focus-
the nature of action, interaction and objectives- the imaginary
reality, senses and feeling- active analysis of text - physical and
vocal expression of character - the actor in the context of
training and the industry.Drawing on Stanislavski's major books, in
both English translations, and on records of his directing process
and final studio classes, "Acting Stanislavski" demystifies terms
and concepts. It is for actors from an actor's point of view, and
offers many practical exercises and examples as an integrated part
of each subject."Acting Stanislavski "also creates an up-to-date
overview of the Stanislavski approach, connecting his legacy with
the work of his successors, from Michael Chekhov to Meisner, Adler
and Strasberg.A new, extended and fully updated edition of "Acting
on Impulse: Reclaiming the Stanislavski Approach" (Methuen Drama,
2007), "Acting Stanislavski" now includes new exercises and
biographies, a further chapter on The Character, and an expanded
glossary along with many other additions to the previous chapters.
It is an essential practical and educational resource for any
acting student, professional or teacher.
