A Directors Guide to Stanislavskys Active Analysis describes Active Analysis; the innovative rehearsal method Stanislavsky formulated in his final years. By uniting mental analysis and eacute;tudes; Active Analysis puts an end to the problem of mind-body dualism and formalized text memorization that traditional rehearsal methods foster. The book describes Active Analysis both practically and conceptually; Part One guides the reader through the entire process of Active Analysis; using A Midsummer Nights Dream as a practical reference point. The inspiration here is the work of the Russian director Anatoly Efros; whose pioneering work led the way for a reawakening of theatre in post-Soviet Russia. Part Two is the first English translation of Maria Knebels foundational article about Active Analysis. Knebel was hand-selected by Stanislavsky to carry his final work forward in unadulterated form for succeeding generations of directors and actors. A Directors Guide to Stanislavskys Active Analysis provides the first detailed explanation of Active Analysis from the directors perspective; while also meeting the needs of actors who seek to enhance their creative involvement in the process of play production.
