This resource can be used as an introduction to Stanislavski and includes exercises that can be used in class. Stanislavski believed that the reproduction of life on stage is, for actors, both a challenge and a responsibility toward the people who come to see it. Simplicity and scenic truth became important principles, and the Stanislavski system emerged as a vigorous weapon against overacting, clichés, and mannerisms. With the System’s terminology – super-objective, logic of actions, given circumstances, communion, subtext, images, tempo-rhythm, and so on – a common language has been created.

This resource introduces students of the ‘Brechtian’ technique and also includes exercises. Brecht’s plays had a strong political social function in seeking to promote a Marxists analysis of society. His purpose was not simply to show the world as it was but to change it into a better world for workers and other oppressed groups. Early in his career he wrote a series of plays called Lehrstucke or ‘learning plays’. The Lehrstucke offered very clear and unambiguous lessons to the audience and are an example of didactic theatre. The social function of didactic theatre is clearly educational, often political, rather than for amusement or entertainment.
