The way every last detail is noted resembles a semi-obsession with the way everything works; going back to is habit of rationalizing. When a new person brought into light not a single characteristic is left out when describing them he creates a perfect image in your head, making everything realistic like you are experiencing right along with Anton. Most memorable to me is when he describes watching Schultz die, and how Anton can remember the blood stained man laying in the street thirty something years later. Reading him depict everything makes me think he is searching for something, but isn’t sure what he’s looking for yet and won’t stop until he does, which in the end I believe when he finds out the reasoning behind the moving of Fake’s body is he really…
Acting emanates from somewhere INSIDE the actor. Studies the role closely, uses imagination, lives the life of the character.…
The three terms/concepts are: casting, ensemble acting, and method acting. The cast of American Beauty won a Screen Actors Guild Award for an Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Theatrical Motion Picture in the year 2000, the ensemble acting includes the acting techniques of working together in the film shots, and the casting of the group of actors for the characters’ roles includes: Annette Bening, Wes Bentley, Thora Birch, Chris Cooper, Peter Gallagher, Allison Janney, Kevin Spacey, and Mena Suvari. In fact, some of the actors cast in the roles are not method actors per se, and their acting articulates some of the Stanislavski's System techniques which include the establishment of their own creative personal methods.…

Classical acting is the original form of acting in movies and plays that was originally an acting system created by Russian actor and director Constantin Stanislavski during the late 1800s, and was very popular in the early to middle 1900s. The system that he created consisted of both script analysis and personal exploration in order to find “the truth” of a prat, or what would be considered truthful with the actor when playing the part either onstage or on the air (tv show/ movie). The system was based on expressing and responding the actor’s body to detailed character portrayal, as well as addressing the creation of an inner life. Mr. Stanislavski’s guide to acting and his ideas and beliefs on how to become a great method actor were published in a book in 1936 called An Actor Prepares. It included certain steps such as, “an emphasis on physical acting, or physical actions. Imagination as a way to find character and relate to other actors. The super-objective and ‘through line of actions’ in analyzing the script, including the main essence. Exploring subtext. Personalizing through affective memory--from real-life and imagined experiences.” He also included a couple of “games” for the actors to prpeare before rehearsal or auditioning, such as doing improvisation in certain situations, and having…
Stanislavski was a famous theatre director well known for his use and belief of naturalistic theatre. He had a certain 'system' in which he used to train actors. In this system, are many techniques, some of which I will explain.…
Sandy developed a special acting method, people named the Meisner technique. There is some information that I found: “ It is an inter-dependent series of training exercises that build on one another. Meisner Training is an inter-dependent series of training exercises that build on one another. The more complex work supports a command of dramatic text. Students work on a series of progressively complex exercises to develop an ability to improvise, to access an emotional life, and finally to bring the spontaneity of improvisation and the richness of personal response to textual work. The technique develops the behavioral strand of Stanislavski's 'system'. The technique emphasizes "moment-to-moment" spontaneity through communication with other actors in order to generate behavior that is truthful within…
The author is most ready to point out that a genius like Salvini or Duse may use without theory the right emotions and expressions that to the less inspired but intelligent student need to be taught. What Stanislavski has undertaken is not to discover a truth but to bring the truth in usable form within the reach of those actors and producers who are fairly well equipped by nature and who are willing to undergo the necessary discipline.…
The Victorian age was a time period where scientists were exploring different topics. Sexual matters, the unconscious and motivation had all been studied before Freud. Dr. Wilhelm Fleiss created imaginative theories about both genders. Ideas about the unconscious mind and hypnosis started being looked at. Friedrich Nietzche was a philosopher that focused on motivation. He wrote a book in 1883 called Thus Spoke Zarathustral. He discussed the hidden motives that people do not recognize. Freud read Nietzche's book. Sigmund Freud goes to medical school in 1873 and meets Joesph Breuer. He did research on neurological aspects and focused on cocaine. He then opens his own private practice and begins using hypnotherapy. He writes a paper with Breuer…
Savickas’ eclectic approach for counselors to use Holland and Super’s theories in a psychosocial manner is a structured way to analysis client’s story. In their assessment to create a life portrait is more of a holistic approach that using theories in a career maturity perspective. Savicka’s approach brings out subconscious aspirations and the passions clients are not aware exist, which prevents them from fully reaching their potential.…

After analyzing multiple sources of data it was clear that the behavior program Conscious Discipline helped reduce student misbehavior. One of the most important indicators that were reviewed to come to the conclusion that Conscious Discipline is effective is the data regarding the referral number per week per classroom. As shown in table chart one below each classroom reduced their referrals based on insubordination and misbehavior. Throughout each week, as the study progressed and the strategies were re-taught and reinforced there were fewer referrals. As clearly shown below in Chart F, all three of the Kindergarten classrooms that were studied decreased their number of classroom referrals. Additionally, as shown in Chart A, at week…
The American Art Therapy Association defines art therapy as “the therapeutic use of art making, within a professional relationship, by people who experience illness, trauma or challenges in living, and by people who seek personal development” (American Art Therapy Association, 2011). Art therapy can be used to successfully treat PTSD. Facing and overcoming trauma place a significant amount of tension in the brain. “The traumatized brain is constantly on high alert” (“Calm through creativity”, n.d.) from being used to and the constant re-living of the unsafe and traumatizing environment. Artistic activities, like drawing or sculpting clay, can soothe those lower regions of the brain that are overactive and release some of the mental…
