Ivan Kapkov IB Literature & Performance Ms. Guarino The theater is a part of our culture, history, and future, our ancestors were educated from theaters the plays and by performers. Konstantin Stanislavski in one of his quotes said “ Create your own method. Don't depend slavishly on mine. Makeup something that will work for you! But keep breaking traditions, I beg you.” Stanislavski was known for creating a method acting, allowing actors to use their personal histories to express “authentic emotion” as well as “emotional memory” and create rich characters. After the method was created and well known after tours an around Europe and US other actors and teachers started using and involving the method of Stanislavski.

Ivan Kapkov Scene proposals due by midnight. Discuss the scene, why it interests you, what character you'll play & why (& how it will challenge you as an actor), the importance of this scene in play & what literary analysis you hope to explore  The scene that we chose is the scene where Tom and Amanda get into a big fight over something that doesn't really matter, but at the end reflects on Laura.
