5.0 out of 5 stars
A Significant work for developing one's craft!,
By James Tudor (Columbus, Ohio) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Stanislavski in Rehearsal (Paperback)
Stanislavski in Rehearsal has been the most influential work that I have come across in regards to developing my craft. The book spells out the Method of Physical actions, which was what KS was working on when he passed away. This work also disgards/de-empasis some teaching in his earlier work, like emotion memory. This is a must read for all actors, escpecially one's who are interested in the work of Stanislavski.

5.0 out of 5 stars
By far the best book on Stanislavski's "method"!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Stanislavski in Rehearsal (Paperback)
This is a good book. Buy it, specially if you're tired of the mumbo jumbo that is being taught under the name of Stanislavski by the so-called "Stanislavski experts."
