Stanislavski: Legacy

Front 1

Vsevolod Meyerhold

Back 1

1) Very diff: Biomechanics - outside in (infl Brecht)
- similarities to MoPA though.
2) No to Stanislavski‘s "creation of life of stage" = preferred stylised theatre.
3) The Fairground Booth
4) Forth Wall
5) Rejected many lynchpins

Front 2

Yevgeny Vakhtangov

Back 2

Moved forth wall past footlights to combine:
* Stanislavski’s truth as in life,
* and Meyerhold’s theatricalism
So aware of audience and theatricality of performance, but still 'realistic' in Magic If.

Front 6

Lee Strasberg

Back 6

* Method Acting
