The Stanislavski System is a method of acting developed by Russian theater practitioner Konstantin Stanislavski in the early 20th century. It emphasizes the importance of emotional truth and authenticity in performance, encouraging actors to draw from their own experiences to create believable characters. Central to the system are techniques such as emotional memory, where actors recall personal feelings to enhance their portrayal, and subtext, which focuses on the underlying emotions and intentions behind the dialogue. This approach has significantly influenced modern acting and is foundational in many acting schools worldwide.
