If the whole world is a stage and the people in it are actors, then Konstantin Stanislavsky can rightfully be considered one of the great teachers in history, on par with Aristotle and Leo Tolstoy. An outstanding director, artist, and sensitive teacher, Konstantin Sergeyevich Stanislavsky (1863-1938) not only reformed the theater, but also gave artists a unique system for mastering the craft. Stanislavsky's system is studied in theater schools all over the world.
Stanislavsky introduced such basic terms as "super task", "tempo-rhythm", "through action" into the mandatory training program for actors, wrote about the importance of plasticity and diction, about the development of general erudition and outlook, and the need for continuous self-improvement.
Of Stanislavsky's extensive literary legacy, the most famous are two books - "My Life in Art" and "An Actor's Work on Himself" in two parts: "Working on Yourself in the Creative Process of Experience" and "Working on Yourself in the Creative Process of Embodiment". In them, the great Russian director and actor talks about his own experience of working in the theater and reveals the secrets of the acting craft: how to get rid of stiffness of movement and improve diction, how to work on the image, how to feel your character in order to finally hear the cherished "I believe!" This edition contains the most interesting chapters from these books, which present the essence of the acting craft. But it is addressed to everyone without exception - regardless of whether you plan to conquer the theater stage and film studios or just sometimes perform in front of an audience, you will find a lot of useful information for yourself in this book.
