Journal Entry 1 - Stanslavski's Method

This week for IB Theater, we took a look at the theorist, Konstantin Stanislavski, and his methods to be a better and more convincing actor. Stanislavsi's main ideas and exercises to help you become a better actor include embodying a character inwardly and physically. To practice some of his ideas, we were assigned to use two of his exercises and reflect on how it went. Through practicing his exercises, I expanded my ability to connect to a character as well as feel the emotions and environment of another character. I think I will use some of his exercises in the future to expand my knowledge and connection with a character that I play in hope that my presentation and performance can be more realistic and relatable.
