Method

Method

Introspective approach to acting that aims at extreme naturalism, in which the actor seeks to identify inwardly with the character and work from this inner motivation to outward signs of character. Based on the writings and teachings of Constantin Stanislavsky, the method was brought into notoriety through its adoption by the Actor's Studio, founded in 1947 by Elia Kazan and others, later including Lee Strasberg.
