ENDNOTES

See pg 15. Also see Moore 41, Stanislavski, AAP 163.

When Stanislavski’s sequel to ‘An Actor Prepares,’ ‘Building a Character’ was published in 1949,
it was largely ignored by American acting professionals. See pg 20.

Stanislavski maintained that his techniques transcended style. His company the MAT performed
many different styles, from Moliere to Shakespeare. In America however, he is mainly associated
with psychological realism.

Later interpretations varied. In the American ‘Method’ at some stage, the question changed to
‘What would I do if I were in this position?’
In order to avoid confusion, the sentence could be better worded as:
As an actor playing Macbeth, what would be the most appropriate choices of action I make to fulfill the
character’s objectives.
5
In the above example they are not consistent with each other.
6
In his later ‘Method of Physical Actions, he reversed the roles played by emotions vis a vis
actions. In this new technique, emotions were triggered through physical actions.
7
In 1918, Stanislavski was invited to teach acting at the Opera Studio and develop his ideas.

Strasberg changed the term ‘Emotional Memory’ to ‘Affective Memory.’

Robert Lewis recalls how Kazan was against the idea of Strasberg teaching at the Actor’s Studio,
and tried, without much success, to get Sandford Meisner or Joshua Logan instead. See Munk pg
159.

In ‘Private Moments’, the actor would perform actions which were not normally acceptable in
public.
