Stanislavsky and Screen Actor Training is a collection of essays mapping the acting field's current engagement with Stanislavsky practices and concepts for training in the screen industries across continents.

This edited volume collates the efforts of teachers of screen acting to identify, investigate, articulate, document, and disseminate Stanislavsky-inspired practical tools for actor training for the screen. Providing reflections from instructors and teachers of acting for the screen, it interrogates the ways in which the actor's craft affects cinematic processes and experiences through the lens of Stanislavskian methods. Part one looks at the ways in which Stanislavsky's concepts can be applied within the screenacting studio. Then, part two moves on to investigate the process of active analysis within the studio. Part three presents ways in which Stanislavsky's methodologies can be adapted for the screenacting process. Finally, part four looks at Stanislavsky-inspired pedagogical innovations for training screen actors. Support material for this book is available at www.routledge.com/9781032986081
