Inspirational quotes - Stanislavski
“In the circle of light on the state in the midst of
darkness, you have the sensation of being entirely alone... This is called
solitude in public... During a performance, before an audience of thousands,
you can always enclose yourself in this circle, like a snail in its shell...
You can carry it wherever you go."
“Never lose
yourself on the stage. Always act in your own person, as an artist. The moment
you lose yourself on the stage marks the departure from truly living your part
and the beginning of exaggerated false acting. Therefore, no matter how much
you act, how many parts you take, you should never allow yourself any exception
to the rule of using your own feelings. To break that rule is the equivalent of
killing the person you are portraying, because you deprive him of a
palpitating, living, human soul, which is the real source of life for a part.”
“In spite of my great admiration for individual
splendid talents I do not accept the star system. Collective creative effort is
the root of our kind of art. That requires ensemble acting and whoever mars
that ensemble is committing a crime not only against his comrades but also
against the very art of which he is the servant”
