Nobody is perfect but God. Nobody is an actor but Stanislavski.Since he knew when to project the self to the actors. He as Our universe have conserved e!nergy hence consciousness is not a multiple of time. If in the parallel universe space changes he would carry weight in his head to answer the basic challenge for the actor, Do you know the time of the year is it ? Do you know the time of the year the character is in? Ninety five percent of the actors don’t care! As Elia Kazan put it historical films never succeed. The brilliant actor is caught between the two questions looking for the space on stage as stanislavski did by imagining the invisible. Practice for imagination is mime but dialogue can’t be silent ,walks in Bertolt Brecht with his three penny orchestra challenging Stanislavski. But Stanislavski won’t yield to music. God must be in his heaven watching a Stanislavski’s production of Chekov’s The Seagull. All of sudden anybody could act.Stanislavski must be in his heaven watching the God perform nothing while main lead doing the bit of acting at last!
Oh Stanislavski teaching how to act!
