This lesson was almost entirely spent on talking about Stanislavski's system of acting, which is basically the only and most effective way to train actors. According to wikipdia, Slanislavki's method is "based around an actor "living the part" but always staying one step away from complete belief. He felt that it is important that, whilst the actor should experience and show the emotions of the character, it is very important the actor still stay detached. The system was made as a flexible structure, a thing that actors may use as much or as little as they please in their rehearsals, and was intended to be modified for the individual."
Our teacher explained to us that in order to really portray a character realistically, you must have this character's goals in your mind (what they have and are and are about to do) and become this character. The play may begin as soon as you step on stage, but the character's life does not; he has a past that influences how he acts in the future. This lesson we concentrated on entrances, a few people were asked to make entrances depending on what happened to them before, for example one student who had a madman with an axe chasing after him.
As Mrs. Slav said, it would be impossible for her to teach the entire method in a term, let alone a lesson, so expect to hear about it in the future!
