The exercises, games, and improvisations employ Stanislavski acting principles, allowing the actor to gain comfort and confidence in playing any role. Part two is devoted to physical aspects of acting a role, including movement, speech, costuming the character, script dissection, and tempo/rhythm, to enhance natural behavior. Many exercises will aid actors to employ all acting principles. Parts three and four contain theatre exercises suitable for acting students of all ages. The selected activities used by Stanislavski in his renowned Moscow Art Theatre are most appealing for advanced performing artists. Part five is a teaching syllabus to guide instructors in any school or college theatre program. Adjustments of the assignments are defined so as to guide teachers to employ the contents for any two, three or four year program. Part six illustrates dissected working play scripts. The director or actor will gain exciting new levels of creative artistry by employing this valued Stanislavski system. Contrasting tempo/rhythm and life energy of each beat was essential, for he believed the play script was similar to a masterful symphonic score with varied energy, color and dimension as it builds to the climax and conclusion.

An Actor Prepares is the most famous acting training book ever to have been written and the work of Stanislavski has inspired generations of actors and trainers. This translation was the first to introduce Stanislavski's 'system' to the English speaking world and has stood the test of time in acting classes to this day. Stanislavski here deals with the inward preparation an actor must undergo in order to explore a role to the full. He introduces the concepts of the 'magic if' units and objectives, of emotion memory, of the super-objective and many more now famous rehearsal aids. Now available in the Bloomsbury Revelations series to mark the 150th anniversary of Stanislavski's birth, this is an essential read for actors, directors and anyone interested in the art of drama.

Stanislavski was the first to outline a systematic approach for using our experience, imagination and observation to create truthful acting. 150 years after his birth, his approach is more widely embraced and taught throughout the world – but is still often rejected, misunderstood and misapplied. In Acting Stanislavski, John Gillett offers a clear, accessible and comprehensive account of the Stanislavski approach, from the actor's training to final performance, exploring: ease and focus the nature of action, interaction and objectives the imaginary reality, senses and feeling active analysis of text physical and vocal expression of character the actor in the context of training and the industry. Drawing on Stanislavski's major books, in both English translations, and on records of his directing process and final studio classes, Acting Stanislavski demystifies terms and concepts. It is for actors from an actor's point of view, and offers many practical exercises and examples as an integrated part of each subject. Acting Stanislavski also creates an up-to-date overview of the Stanislavski approach, connecting his legacy with the work of his successors, from Michael Chekhov to Meisner, Adler and Strasberg. A new, extended and fully updated edition of Acting on Impulse: Reclaiming the Stanislavski Approach (Methuen Drama, 2007), Acting Stanislavski now includes new exercises and biographies, a further chapter on The Character, and an expanded glossary along with many other additions to the previous chapters. It is an essential practical and educational resource for any acting student, professional or teacher.
