Stanislavski In Rehearsal

Informationen zum Autor Vasili Toporkov was one of the few outsiders ever to be invited to join the Moscow Art Theatre. Although already an experienced and accomplished artist, he was forced to retrain as an actor under Stanislavski's rigorous guidance. Stanislavski in Rehearsal is Toporkov's vivid account of this learning process, offering an eloquent and jargon-free insight into Stanislavski's legendary 'system' and his method of rehearsal that became known as the Method of Physical Action. In Stanislavsky in Rehearsal , Toporkov charts the last crucial years of Stanislavski's work as a director and offers the only reliable biographical sketch that we have of the great man in this time. Jean Benedetti was born in 1930 and educated in England and France. He trained as an actor and teacher at the Rose Bruford College of Speech and Drama, returning in 1970 as Principal of the College until 1987. His published translations include Brecht's Edward II and A Respectable Wedding and Georges Michel's A Sunday Walk . From 1979 to 1987 he was chairman of the Theatre Education Committee of the International Theatre Institute (UNESCO). Zusammenfassung Although already an accomplished artist, Vasili Toporkov was forced to retrain as an actor under Stanislavski's rigorous guidance. This is Toporkov's account of this learning process, offering an insight into Stanislavski's legendary "system".
