Naturalism - Stanislavski




Stanislavskis real name is Constantin Stanislavskis he was born in 1863 in Russia. He is the creator of Naturalism, wanted to make theatre more realistic so he decided create a system instead of regular melodramas. 
This is Stanislavaski 

Before Stanislavaski introduced Naturalism, melodramas  were very popular. A melodrama is a piece of theatre characterised with over the top expressions. Stanislavaski wanted theatre to become more realistic, he thought that the audience would connect better with the actors if they showed real emotions. So he introduced a system. He worked on providing guidance to the performers so that they could achieve deep and meanigful performances. Stanislavaski wanted actors to inhabit a authentic emotion on stage so that the performance would be very realistic. Many people refer to this system as the "Stanislavaski Method." 

The difference between melodrama and naturalism is that one is that a melodrama is basically a faked emotion whereas naturalism is when the actor connects with the performance and is able to show real emotion.
