Konstantin Stanislavski Research Paper

Since the early 20th century and the theories of Constantine Stanislavsky, people have been taking his work and molding, rewording or expanding on to make it more in their image or easier to understand. Not unlike the quote of John of Salisbury (1159):

Which is quite a clear illustration of the purpose or 'role' of stanislavskian actors. Stanislavski set out a way of preparing for a role so that the actor could fulfil his role of pure imitation. He started off by asking the actor to explore the character. He wanted to know what their objective was in each unit of action and what their super objective was. The super objective was the sum of all the units and their objectives.

Bertolt Brecht and Constantin Stanislavski are regarded as two of the most influential practitioners of the twentieth century, both with strong opinions and ideas about the function of the theatre and the actors within it. Both theories are considered useful and are used throughout the world as a means to achieve a good piece of theatre. The fact that both are so well respected is probably the only obvious similarity as their work is almost of complete opposites.

Victor Spinski once said, “Men are awed by the contractions they build: channeled natural phenomenon. Yet through some warped, primitive instinct for survival, he has begun to take on the characteristics of the mechanical creatures in his environment, camouflaging himself, fearful of detection by this mysterious predator. The prey is the predator,” (Shaykett).

When we think of abstract artists, Western artists such as Pablo Picasso, known for his odd cubism works, or Georgia O'Keefe, known for her odd abstract works along with her normal paintings of wildlife, probably come into mind more easily. But is there anyone else known for his or her pure abstract artworks do you know? Do you even know who the pioneer of abstract work is? Then I think you should turn your attention to Russian painter Wassily Kandinsky, who is not as known to us as the other famous artists, yet he contributed a lot to what became today's definition of abstract artwork. In many texts, he is defined as the pioneer of abstract artwork.

Konstantin Sergeievich Alexeiev was born on the 5th of January 1863, to a wealthy family. He gave himself the stage name ‘stanislavski’ in 1884 to hide his acting from his parents, who disapproved of it greatly.

The music of the 20th century can be characterised by both its diversity and longevity in that many of the music of the last century is still popular today. There were numerous ballets created with complex music with extremely large orchestras involved in the productions. One of the most famous and beautiful ballets composed in the early 20th C was “Romeo and Juliet” based on the play William Shakespeare wrote in 1595. The music was composed by the Russian composer Sergei Prokofiev in 1936. The ballet was a massive success and although many years have passed since its debut the music is still commonly used in today’s dance and musical culture.

Prokofiev was born on April 23rd 1891. As a young child his mother had realized her song musical gifts. His mother played the piano which had helped with his decision of becoming a composer. When he was only eleven he had written two operas and small piano pieces that he eventually called “little puppies”. He soon was writing music with unusual time signatures and an unusual change of key. His formal musical education began when he started taking piano lessons from Reinhold Glière. In 1904 he went to college at the Conservatory in St. Petersburg. He would get bored with the lessons in orchestration from Rimsky-Korsakov and the counterpoint lessons from Liadov although he could have learned more from these great men. In 1914, Prokofiev finished his career at the Conservatory by entering the 'battle of the pianos', it was a competition open to the five best piano students. The winner was awarded a Schreder grand piano. He won by performing his own piece which was called Piano Concerto No. 1

Antonin Dvorak was born on September 8 1841 he died on May 1 1904. Now let's talk about his keyboard. The keyboard has failed to replace the standard QWERTY keyboard. He was the second Czech composer to achieve worldwide recognition. The Dvorak took about 12 years to perfect the keyboard so it could be easier to type for the slower type's. The keyboard was designed to comfort the type's. The Dvorak keyboard is much easier to type the a QWERTY keyboard. Dr. Dvorak used his research to make the keyboard so people could use the keyboard for the people that have one hand. Because computer's weren't even in researchers dreams in the late 1920s and 30s. The back-and-forth flow obviously made typing much quicker and easier. The keyboard made typing

Soviet Russia has thrived with many artists that have contributed their great pieces of work to the world of art. Among these artists was c, Alexander Samokhvalov, and Boris Ioganson. Isaak Brodsky was a social realism painter who was mostly known for his painting Lenin. Alexander Samokhvalov was not only a painter but also a very talented graphic artist and produced the famous painting, Café Gurzuf. Lastly, Boris Ioganson was also a social realism painter who switched from realist paintings to historical paintings mid-way through his career. During the 20th century, Soviet Russia gave way too many emerging artists and allowed them to produce great pieces of art that are still remembered today.

I really like that Stanislavski understands the interconnectivity between the different arts. He doesn’t just think that theater must follow its very own methods because it is a different type of art than singing or playing an instrument; rather, he uses the fact that they are interconnected under fine arts and uses that within his methods. For example, the notion of muscle tension impeding the creative process is used very much in singing techniques though muscle tension is more directed towards actual physical impairment of the voice rather than mental impairment of one’s creativity.

Stanislavsky wrote three novels that discuss his acting method; An Actor Prepares, Building a Character, and Creating a Role. These books are from the perspective of a
