	I agree that this article needs a major rewrite. It fails to distinguish between Stanislavski's 'System' in its various phases and the American 'Method(s)'.

Needs big rewrite

I'm definitely not the one to do it, but this page needs a big rewrite by someone who actually knows about acting. Needs discussion of the development of KS's system, his books, his main methods (circle of concentration, etc), the American schools, etc.

> I agree. Right now, the article has a major error--Stanislavski was very much opposed to just playing emotion--hence the objectives, tactics, etc., which should produce said emotion (although you can't think specifically of results--the emotion will not likely be the same every night). If the gods don't come that night, you still have your tactics--Stan talked a lot about how actors, unlike writers or painters, couldn't wait to be in the proper artistic temperament to create their work. Doesn't mean you can't try to cultivate that temperament, but you can't expect it.

Of course, it's not like the guy only ever said one thing, either. And if you add, on top of that, the various interpretations and mis-interpretations . . . oy.

So, anyway, this guy is right. Do something about this.

>Stanislavski stressed that his approach to acting should not be seen as a method or a system (the method term especially ticked him off). It was intended to be more of a set of guiding principles and examples of the use of them in his approach to acting.

Thanks

Thanks for being free! I need this stuff for musical theater! ;)

Maybe someone who actually understands the method and studied under Strasberg should define "method acting" instead of monkeys at keyboards.

Naming Conventions question

(I found several spellings of his name on the web, so I wonder which one might be the "correct" one. I googled for several combinations today - 30 Sep 2005 -, and here are the results:

"Constantin Stanislawski" - 38 hits.
"Konstantin Stanislawski" - 591 hits.
"Constantin Stanislavsky" - 772 hits.
"Konstantin Stanislavski" - 34.100 hits.

So, the wisdom of the crowd seems to say that it should be written "Konstantin Stanislavsky", and Misplaced Pages says that it should be written "Konstantin Stanislavski". Who might be right, and why?)

This is the correct way Konstantin Stanislavski ive got his book

Russian names are notorious for their variety of spellings, so technically, no one is "right." It's the same for Tchaikovsky (Tchaikovski, Chaikovsky etc.), Chekhov (Chekov, or even worse Tschechow, which I recently encountered), etc. So really we must create a number of redirects to help lost souls find their way here. I'll check up on the redirects and create them to help guide the way. *Exeunt* Ganymead | Dialogue? 15:29, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

A Young Age?

The picture is captioned, "stanislavski at a young age." He looks about 50-ish in that picture to me. Is that a young age? Landroo 13:58, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

I agree. Done.qp10qp 18:34, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

Citations

The article claims Stanislavski's system has lead to numerous actors, and it lists Johnny Depp among those. Yet Johnny Depp's biography mentions nothing abut him being trained as a method actor, or even being trained at all. I'm not sure about the other actors listed but in a lot of their biographies it doesn't mention method acting. Could we get some citations for this?

Birthdate

The page lists the birth date as the fith with a reference to a citation of the 17th. This sounds like a Julian Gregorian difference and the 12 days is correct for the Nineteenth century.

Is there a standard way of citing this
