What Is Stanislavsky?

Konstantin Sergeyevich Stanislavsky was a Russian actor and theatre director. As an actor, theatre director, as well as a theatre theorist, Stanislavsky had seen many performance that were not played well. He had said that many of the performances that he had watched were terribly played and actors were far from believable. He called these performances artificial because they weren't believable. Stanislavsky then created a system called the Stanislavsky system in which he created many techniques for actors to use to better there performance. This essay will discuss types of techniques in which I used to help me perform my monologue for the last unit and how they are used and also a bit about Stanislavsky.

Stanislavsky thought that in order to become a good actor you must change your perspective and traditionally ways of learning how to play your role. The Stanislavsky system is a system which include many vigorous techniques to better your character and not have the performance be artificial. Some techniques in the system included; Action, Unit and Objectives, Super-Objective and Emotion Memory, Imagination (Stanislavski’s system. 2016, May 6) . To go into depth for example, one way to help an actor was to bring the actors to experience into his or hers role. The actor must attempt to relate with the character to therefore understand the feelings and emotion the character he or she is playing. The three techniques I used throughout my monologue was Unit and Objectives, Action and super objectives . Units and objectives is when you section of your text. You label one unit when it is a potion of the text that has one objective. There can multiple units for one scene. The objective can be expressed with what you saying. Its not always what your trying to do but it is what an actor is trying to convey. The super objective is what the performance is about. This is the whole theme of your

Throughout the unit I have mainly used were Unit and Objectives, Super-Objective, Action and Imagination. Imagination and units and objective was one of the first out of the few that I picked up and used. When using imagination to help me in my monologue, I needed to really imagine how my character would feel and what she's been through. This helped me to further develop my character so I had a clear understanding of what I was performing. The next technique that really helped me and that was one of the first I learned about was Units and objectives units and objective helped me vastly throughout my performance and in the creation of my monologue. Units and objective is when you break a your monologue up into different sections as I said before. This allowed you to keep objectives for each section. For me, this was very important. It helped me to figure out a great spectrum of emotion that was used in my final performance and this helped me to understand clearly what emotion needed to be played during that section. This was important because I needed my
