A Final Thought on Stanislavski

There are many thing that I learned from An Actor Prepares by Stanislavski. It should be said though that I'm not sure I buy into the whole idea. I feel the need to take what I find helpful and throw out the rest. As seen in many of my blogs I don't be live that you can tap into your subconscious. It can change with you but you can't do this a will. I do however like the ideas of emotion memory and as much as I hate units and objectives I do think that the general idea of them is a solid one. I highly recommend the book to any actor who hasn't read it. Agree with it or not it does give you great ideas and gives you the opportunity to analyze just what your system is and how it compares to that of others.
