Stanislavski: When Acting is an Art

This chapter had me confused most of the time. I understood the main concept of it, but the terminology was at times hard to follow or keep track of. It made me feel kind of bad, because of all of the things Director Tortsov said was considered bad acting; most the of things which I tend to do. I understand that acting requires the whole person and for you to put your mind, body and soul into it, but it’s an extremely difficult process to reach that point. I believe that it is possible for me to grow and reach that point with time; but in college, it’s hard to do. Having to balance classes, homework, work, and rehearsal is hard a lot of the times. I’m planning on keeping all of these books and hopefully going back into them after my graduation in two years. Maybe then I will be able to better understand the methods and apply them better to my career.
