The purpose of the article is to identify the special features of acting training of one of the leading American theatre figures of the twentieth century Stella Adler in the context of the peculiarities of interpretation of the Stanislavsky method and to determine its relevance at the present stage of the theatre pedagogy development. Research methodology. The author of the article applies the systematic method to consider the acting training methodology propounded by K. Stanislavsky, the method of cognitive analysis to reveal the differences in the professional training systems of L. Strasberg, S. Meisner, and S. Adler, as well as considers the internal logic of the development of the acting training technique with the help of specially developed training exercises, etc. Scientific novelty. The article examines S. Adler’s acting teaching methods, which are a creative transformation of Stanislavsky’s theory and meets the needs of acting students, and analyses S. Adler’s exercises of actor’s external and internal technique, relevant for modern theatre pedagogy. Conclusions. The article demonstrates that the acting training developed by S. Adler on the basis of the author’s interpretation of the Stanislavsky system, in addition to helping to solve personal issues that hinder successful professional training, the development of the actor’s mental processes and his creative skills and abilities, focuses on the creation of an environment that would allow theatre actors and viewers to appreciate humanity, bringing art and culture to the society, based on the understanding that the growth of the personality of both the actor and the person are synonymous. S. Adler’s acting technique has evolved, but a lot of its fundamental ideas are actively used, in particular in the aspect of studying the range of acting capabilities in the dynamics of emotions, offering the actor to explore the role based on his own experience, imagination, and behaviour. |
