Book Overview
From the father of method acting, Building a Character is Constantin Stanislavski's masterful handbook to naturalistic acting.
First published in 1950, Building a Character is Stanislavski's famous handbook and guide to assist actors in mastering the Stanislavski method. The Russian actor and theatre director was famous for his rigorous and detailed processes, and he successfully popularised the systematic approach to theatre known as method acting. In this volume he explains that a character's outward expression should come from their inner emotions, and that the actor should try to embody both these sides of their character to truly embody them.
Building a Character is highly recommended for all theatre and acting students, and this new edition is complete with a specially-commissioned biography of the author.
