Stanislavski in Practice is an unparalleled step-by-step guide to Stanislavski's system.
Author Nick O'Brien makes this cornerstone of acting accessible to teachers and students alike through the use of practical exercises that allow students to develop their skills. This second edition offers more exercises for the actor, and also new sections on directing and devising productions. Each element of the system is covered practically through studio exercises and jargon-free discussion. Exercises are designed to support syllabi from Edexcel, Eduqas, OCR and AQA to the practice-based requirements of BTEC and IB Theatre.
This is the perfect exercise book for students and a lesson planner for teachers at post-16 and first year undergraduate level.
