This blog is designed to aid you in your study of Stanislavski, as our lesson with you is only one hour long we thought it would be beneficial to have additional information and reading lists to enable you to develop this study further, and hopefully answer any questions you may have that may not have been asked during the lesson. Also, this can be a source of communication directly between the teaching team and yourselves to answer any queries you may have regarding the techniques and methods used.
Enjoy.

THE MAGIC IF...
Stanislavski did not think that an actor could honestly believe in the truth and reality of events on the stage, but he said that an actor can believe in the possibility of events.An actor must only try to answer the question,"What would i do if i were in King Lear's position?" This "magic if" as stanislavski called it,transforms the character's aim into the actor's.It is a strong stimulus to inner and physical actions.
If carries the actor into the imaginary circumstantces.If is a supposition,and it does not imply or assert anything that exists.Through it an actor can create problems for himself,and his effort to solve them will lead him naturally to inner and external actions.If is a powerful stimulus to imagination,thought,and logical action.And,we have seen,a correctly executed logical action will stir the actor's inner mechanism of emotions.
