For the actor seeking to draw on both traditions, dialectical tensions can arise between Haltung/Attitude (a sociological construct, essentially fluctuating and inconsistent) and Super-Objective (a psychological concept, fundamentally constant and stable). This paper proposes incorporating these apparently contradictory concepts into a unified working methodology for the actor. The paper starts by reviewing key theoretical pronouncements made by Brecht in relation to Haltung and describes an interesting extension of this concept in the practice of a contemporary theatre company. Brecht’s views on personality and, by extension, of dramatic character, are reviewed and tested in the light of current perspectives in the psychology of individual difference. The paper goes on to examine the concept of Haltung in light of Stanislavsky’s notion of “inner tone” and considers that current models of personality as well as the rehearsal practices of Brecht’s main actors support a conflation of the notions of Haltung and Super-Objective, yet concludes that the adoption of a Haltung of necessity leads actors to selecting a certain type of Super-Objective and “inner tone”, here defined as “realistic”. Throughout, examples are offered using the records of Brecht’s productions of Mother Courage and The Caucasian Chalk Circle. A final section illustrates how the working model proposed could be applied to an understanding of a character normally associated with the Stanislavskian tradition: Lopakhin in The Cherry Orchard.","PeriodicalId":40821,"journal":{"name":"Stanislavski Studies","volume":"42 1","pages":"179 - 192"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2020-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73780876","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This analysis will enable us to discuss how the arrival of Brecht merged with the dissemination of Stanislavski’s newly introduced practices in the country, in a conjunction that led to the invention of a hybridized and particularly Brazilian way of acting. We will also examine how the re-emergence of a political theatre, after the slow reopening of the country in the late 1980s that succeeded the Brazilian Civilian-Military Coup in 1964, brought back the “need for Brecht” as well as the “need for Stanislavski”, both of which were embraced by the young artists of the national theatre without prejudice towards specific acting styles. Thereafter, we can glimpse contributions of what we consider to be the inherent plasticity of Brecht and Stanislavski’s legacies to the mutability of the art of acting.","PeriodicalId":40821,"journal":{"name":"Stanislavski Studies","volume":"7 1","pages":"167 - 177"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2020-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79701102","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Like a whisperer, the actor should lure emotions, gently invite them in, approach them indirectly, instead of “going after” them and scaring them away. During his extensive and revolutionary research on the actor’s craft, the Russian pioneer discovered various such indirect “lures” for emotional activation. This article reviews the tangible points of entry to the unruly feelings as identified by Stanislavski, as well as those explored by his pupil, Michael Chekhov. The two practitioners’ approach to emotion is examined here, with emphasis on two key publications respectively: Stanislavski’s An Actor’s Work and Chekhov’s To the Actor. The article discusses the lures of concentration, imagination, “well-founded, apt and productive” actions, emotion memory, tempo-rhythm, empathy (fellow-feeling), external stimuli such as lighting and props, and the actor’s focus on that which is specific, tangible, and detailed. The review of Stanislavski’s lures is followed by a discussion of Michael Chekhov’s insights on artistically-induced emotion and the pathways he identified for stirring the performer’s inner life, emphasizing the exploration of qualities of movement, objective atmospheres, and the actor’s embodied imagination.","PeriodicalId":40821,"journal":{"name":"Stanislavski Studies","volume":"73 1","pages":"21 - 39"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2020-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83964519","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
