5.0 out of 5 stars
A great book that fills in the gaps left by the METHOD,
By Kim Flintoff "drama-education.com" (Attadale, Western Australia AUSTRALIA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Stanislavski for Beginners (Paperback)
One of the worst things that happened to acting was the development in America of the infamous and incomplete "METHOD" propagated by a well known acting school that was popular amongst many actors including James Dean, Marilyn Monroe and Steve McQueen - I wonder what the link is between their training and their deaths - is the METHOD psychologically sound and safe?The Method is based on one of two books written by Constantin Stanislavski - a long break between publishing the two volumes (somewhere in the order of 10 years) saw the USA get a glimpse at part of what Stanislavski meant ... this little book helps fill in the gaps.. As a drama teacher I have found this an invaluable resource in teaching students about "method acting", realism, emotional recall, etc - it clearly articulates the concepts at a level that just about anyone can deal with... the pictures and the brevity of text make it an enticing read for students and teacher alike... do yourself a favour - get this little gem and check out others in the series.

Good for technique,
By A Customer
This review is from: Stanislavski for Beginners (Paperback)
This book is well written but it will not help you to jump start your acting career. If your looking to have a career as an actor, study read this book,take classes and then get a workbook, like Twelve Step Plan To Becoming An Actor by Dawn Lerman and Dori Keller. It will give you tangible ADVICE ON HOW TO GET YOUR CAREER MOVING . Jim Stevens
