Stanislavsky in Focus - Carnicke, Sharon Marie (University of Southern California, USA)

Examines the history and actual premises of Stanislavsky's 'System', separating the myth from fact. This study looks at the mythical depiction of Stanislavsky as a tyrannical director and teacher, yoga, the mind-body-spirit continuum and its role in the 'System', and how Stanislavsky used subtexts to hide many of his ideas from Soviet censors.
