A Russian stage actor Constantin Stanislavski, was the founder of the naturalistic performance technique he called method acting.
He was also a director who helped to co-found the Moscow art theatre well over a century ago who used the method acting, which allows actors to use their own personal experiences to act out natural emotions and more rounded characters.

Today we had to find some sounds for our  play also  scenery. We got our  pictures off google and our  sounds off the internet then  we put them on to the memory stick.
We went into the hall, was given the laptop to do are power point and then we were asked  what lighting we needed. So we said we would like a spot light on each of us,  which is what happened, then we waited for them to be set into the lighting board. Next we recited the beginning of the script, a few times, so we could make sure the light was right.  We moved on to the next scenes and sorted the lights to  make sure we knew where we needed to be  on stage and for Ang to get to know where our  scenery needed to be and when it wanted changing and our  sound effects came in  We were happy with our  tec run ,it  went well, and we just need to practice to give a polished performance.

Stanislavski justified his use of naturalistic detaid. in the prompt book for The Segull he says that the naturalistic sound effects will "assist the spectator to get the feel of the sad monotonous life of the characters." (:(Tolstoy, Stanislavski, and the art of acting, 1992)our  play relates to the characters life, the character I am playing, has had her heart broken by a boy, and she doesn't know what to do with her self.Then she finds out her mum  has  been killed in a car crash. So I  have to find a way of bringing this out.

established

by Konstantin Alekseev (1863–1938), who in

1884 began using the name he would come

to be known by, Stanislavsky.

"Stanislavsky proposed that actors, working

in collaboration with directors, should build

their performances through a methodical process of script analysis that reckoned with four

fundamental elements: the characters’ given circumstances in each scene and at the outset

of the story; the objectivesthe characters seek to achieve in each scene and by the end of the

story; the actions they will use to try to obtain their objectives; and the “beats” or units of

action in each scene that reveal the series of actions the characters employ to reach their

respective objectives".(Stanislavsky’s terms for script analysis: Vocabulary for analyzing screen P.., 2013 page 29)

"In performances, actors change the qualities in their movements, gestures, and vocal

expressions to communicate their characters’

shift from one action to another, as when one

character turns from warning to accusing the

other character. Laban Movement Analysis is

useful for identifying the qualities that infuse

actors’ performances as they change from one

goal-directed action to another. In any scene,

actors’ shifting series of movements, gestures,

and physical/vocal expressions can be analyzed in the following terms":(Stanislavsky’s terms for script analysis: Vocabulary for analyzing screen P.., 2013 page 30) I am doing this in are play as we are talking about life and we are changing are emotions and actions to what we are doing in the scriptand using props to show this.

"it is your own individual experiances, which you bring to the role from the real world that give it life"(Stanislavski and Benedetti, 2008)pg 196)
So I have used this quote, as when we are acting, I have been able to draw on emotions  from real life experiences, such as a phone call from  someone  who had disappeared  a few years previously, wanting to meet up, this  created a lot of mixed  emotions  which  I ha been through.

"Stanislavski developed a systematic approach to acting that involved working both on the actors psychological and his or her physical portrayal of the character" (WORTHEN and Worthen, 2006)p.g 933
I have thought about the way you would feel, if this was your family and have recalled some of the things that have happened In  my life. I thought back to  phone calls I have received  and  to how  it felt  getting that call.

# data[].attributes.body
We had a go at acting out  the script  and Gemma and Asheigh said they felt like they were  just standing about  ,when other people were  talking, After talking about it, we all decided to position ourselves at different levels and still standing in   four  "this is what Stanislavsky means by Dynamic listening . By listening to what your partners have to say and what are bodies are  telling us, each day physically, emotionally and experientially."(Merlin, 2007) corners. While thinking about  how to act out, what our  character would be doing, I decided   to sit on the floor first, putting makeup on  and then move to another corner, when I would  put on a coat and pick up a  bag. as I imagine I am at the train station. It was suggested about having a train sound ,also  a tablet for when I do my next bit,Skyping home.

read through script

# data[].attributes.body
Today we read through the script again with Ashleigh, we told her of our  ideas and about the show. Then  we started to set out how we was going to do it

# data[].attributes.body
To day at uni  Rachel , Gemma and I met up to look at the script. We sat and looked  at it and all agreed  to do the first scene and the last scene. We got it completed and then went in a room, to read through the script.Next  we timed it and decided we needed more so we put a paragraph back in .Then we retried it and found we had the right amount . We then talked about what props we would need and how we could set it .

# data[].attributes.body
This week I have had        a look at the book to try and decide  which bit we could do.Rachel and I  both thought  we should do the opening scene and the last scene.

# data[].attributes.body
At uni the next day, we spoke to Gemma and Ashleigh about changing the script .The performance at Manchester had made a big impression on Rachel and  I ,so  having shared the story with  Gemma and Ashley   we decided   to change it, as we did not  think Steel  Magnolia was what we wanted to do any more

# data[].attributes.body
uni took us  on a trip to Manchester LowryTheatre to watch "Things  I Know to be True by Frantic Assembly. Rachel and I  both remarked  at the interval, this was very Stansilaski.
During  the show you could hear people sniffling and crying the emotion built, by  the end of the show nearly all of the audience were crying, as the show reflected  a lot of things that happen in people's families. As we walked  out, they was selling the book  containing  the script ,I decided to buy a copy.

# data[].attributes.body
I decided to work with Gemma, Rachel  and Ashley. We decided  to work on Stanislavski and   looked  for a script  Rachel came up with Steel Magnolia.

# data[].attributes.body
I decided  to sit and watch this film, to see what it is about and to try and listen to their  accents also  to see how it fits in to Stanislavski work.
