Abstract

An Actor-Organic Presence on stage: The Exploration based on Stanislavsky’s Practical Studies Dr. Sreelatha. E This study tries to combine the different dramatic concepts of author, focusing especially on the unique and creative style of Constantine Stanislavsky. His dramatic works gave importance to actors on stage rather than the form of the dramatic text. He had introduced new practical methods to be followed by the actors in different situations. The style of Stanislavsky had influenced many dramatists that brought in so many changes in the dramatic field. A lot of changes can be found in forms, emotions, settings and concepts.The rules introduced by Stanislavsky proved helpful for other dramatists to construct their actors in plays.The expressions of the actor are done through sound based script, symbols, body language and so on.We can find reflections of these dramatic techniques in Theatre of Root, where the intimate interaction between the actor and audience during performance is discussed.Finally this study on the dramatic art of Stanislavsky is great relevance as more prominence is given to stage performances than the dramatic literature.
