Context: Stanislavski recommended experiencing the reality of an action before attempting theatrical recreation. So actors might, for example, pick up a real object and take notice of the necessary muscular action before trying to match this on stage. In the same way the world of the play must create in the actor the sensations that a real place of this type might stimulate. Actors in a play where the natural world has particular significance will often want to remind themselves of the qualities of wild nature, so research might involve walking barefoot on grass, lying under trees and wading in streams! |
