Stanislavsky And Screen Actor Training

The most recent addition to our book series Stanislavsky And... is now available.

Edited by SRC Board members Evi Stamatiou and Sharon Carnicke, Stanislavsky and Screen Actor Training "is a collection of essays mapping the acting field’s current engagement with Stanislavsky practices and concepts for training in the screen industries across continents.

This edited volume collates the efforts of teachers of screen acting to identify, investigate, articulate, document, and disseminate Stanislavsky-inspired practical tools for actor training for the screen. Providing reflections from instructors and teachers of acting for the screen, it interrogates the ways in which the actor’s craft affects cinematic processes and experiences through the lens of Stanislavskian methods. Part one looks at the ways in which Stanislavsky’s concepts can be applied within the screenacting studio. Then, part two moves on to investigate the process of active analysis within the studio. Part three presents ways in which Stanislavsky’s methodologies can be adapted for the screenacting process. Finally, part four looks at Stanislavsky-inspired pedagogical innovations for training screen actors."

The book is available in hard back, paper back and e book editions and can be be ordered direct from Routledge at this webpage.

A launch event for the book will be celebrated at the forthcoming S Word symposium Stanislavsky and the Digital, hosted by The University of East London in June.
