Stanislavski in Practice: Exercises for Students

by NickO'Brien (Author)

Synopsis

Stanislavski in Practice is an unparalleled step-by-step guide to Stanislavski's System. Author Nick O'Brien makes this cornerstone of acting accessible to teachers and students alike.

This is an exercise book for students and a lesson planner for teachers on syllabi from Edexcel, WJEC and AQA to the practice-based requirements of BTEC. Each element of the System is covered practically through studio exercises and jargon-free discussion.

Features include:

    • Practical extension work for students to take away from the lesson
    • Notes for teachers on how to use material with different age groups
    • Exam tips for students based on specific syllabi requirements
    • A chapter dedicated to using Stanislavski when rehearsing a text
    • A glossary of terms that students of the System will encounter
