Hello, and thank you for watching.
Today’s topic: An Actor Prepares, Stanislavski, and Acting for Magicians
A simple guy commented:
“Although Konstantin Stanislavski was a theatre theorist, his works are extremely valuable for magicians. I have learned so much by reading his books. I was wondering if you could review some of them.”
I asked, “Is there one of his books in particular that made an impact on you?”
One of them is: "An actor prepares." Thanks.
“A magician is an actor playing the part of a magician.”
- Jean Eugene Robert-Houdin
It’s about believability
Konstantin Stanislavski
Born: January 17, 1863 - August 7, 1938, Moscow, Russia
Best known for developing the system or theory of acting called the Stanislavsky system or Stanislavsky method.
An Actor Prepares the first of Konstantin Stanislavski's books on acting, followed by Building a Character and Creating a Role.
An Actor Prepares is the diary of a fictional student named Kostya during his first year of training in the Stanislavski system.
Kostya and his fellow students have little to no experience in acting.
