About this deal

This rehearsal process – that shifted from discussion to immediate, active embodiment – became known as the Method of Physical Actions, and at its heart lay improvisation. How the actor says ‘Mother’ will be informed by whatever thoughts arise in spontaneous response to the question ‘Do you love your mother? Furthermore, William Shakespeare’s theatrical canon springs from the Renaissance when science and the arts were all seeking the ‘truth’, with vast expansions in philosophical thought about the meaning of life. James Thomas’ A Guide to Stanislavsky’s Active Analysis is a brilliant book that includes Maria Knebel’s formative essay On Active Analysis.

I’m also struck by the juxtaposition of opposites in the screen directions: while Jenny is in a panic, there’s also something methodical about her actions. Yet increasingly over the past few years, well known actors have been forthcoming about the realities and vulnerabilities of the art form.In the work on the ensemble, I can provide opportunities for them to experience social integration, collaboration and trust as vital community building skills, as well as vocational acting skills. In no way whatsoever is the twenty-first-century world any less cosmic or socially complex as it was for our two dead males or our very living female. This is particularly rewarding with Shakespeare, where words are frequently recycled between characters, who seem to become infected by each other’s ideas.

As one of the most well-known names in theatre history, Konstantin Stanislavsky’s teachings on actor training have endured throughout the decades, influencing scholars and practitioners even in the present day. Bella Merlin has successfully combined a professional career in acting (notably in Max Stafford-Clark's Out of Joint Theatre Company) with teaching at university drama departments in the UK and in the US. He asked her to be his assistant in 1936 and he died in 1938 so she was with him very intensively in the last two years of his life. My whole experience in Russia was this profoundly embodied, imaginative, playful, anarchic, energetic experience.It is never that the script is not your end result but rather you are exploring the connections underneath: bit by bit, you train the ivy around the trellis. He was born into a country navigating huge social and ideological upheavals: he began life as a rich merchant’s son and ended it under house arrest in a communal apartment block. Yet the self is the psychophysical instrument, which serve the actor throughout their professional careers.
