Page 1 of 2 ![]() The Stanislavski Factor Let's face it, as thespians we will always express our own thoughts in relation to acting and the way we perceive the craft but let's just ponder over this for a while. When we think of film for instance, the whole idea of performing may quite easily be one of the most under valued issues in film actuates.
So studying at an actor, what can we say that it is that he or she contributes to a movie, and even more so, just how does the actor or performer go about achieving it? This is important because when we look at successful movie actors and performers we can simply debate that the actors who achieve the more dynamic impact, strangely enough, are the actors who actually do not act. Sure it sounds a little crazy but stick with me on this! Great actors can be thought of to be not acting as we like to look at it but to actually be becoming only themselves and reacting or perhaps 'responding' Now this is key here. All I've pointed out here closely relates to the acting method known as The Stanislavski Method. This method was to stop actors becoming 'sheeplike' and not following the habitual way of performing on stage but instead to focus their actions, and mannerisms in a way that a person would carry on as themselves in their private life.
