Abstract

This thesis examines the circumstances surrounding Konstantin Stanislavsky�s development of the Stanislavsky System of actor-training throughout the early twentieth-century, and subsequently attempts to trace popular misunderstandings of the System in twenty-first century American consciousness, with the intention of dispelling such misunderstanding. It then attempts to continue the work of creating a holistic interpretation of the Stanislavsky�s technique through further engagement with the System from theoretical and practical perspectives for the purpose of advocating further readings of the System.
