Description
This book provides actors, directors, teachers and students with a clear, practical guide to applying the work of influential theatre practitioner Konstantin Stanislavsky to Shakespeare.
Shakespeare and Stanislavsky provides a guide for actors, acting students, directors and teachers who want to apply the work of influential theatre practitioner, Stanislavsky, to the process of rehearsing and workshopping Shakespeareβs play texts.
Acting tutor and director, Annie Tyson, makes applying Stanislavskyβs methods to Shakespeare simple and accessible. She rejects and dispels the myth held by some that Stanislavsky and Shakespeare are incompatible, showing instead how the Shakespearean text offers clues to specific acting choices that are intricately connected to action and character.
Drawing on years of acting, directing and teaching experience at the Drama Centre London and RADA, Tysonβs guide is full of practical tips and humour.
This guide also includes a series of interviews with actors and directors who explain their approach to applying Stanislavsky to Shakespeare.
