Summary

Stanislavski's groundbreaking acting system, developed from his work in the Moscow Art Theater and acknowledged the world over, found its greatest success in America where its methods have been used for over fifty years by the Actor's Studio in New York. "Building a Character," the second volume in Stanislavski's acclaimed trilogy, continues the total immersion in technique and class scenarios begun in "An Actor Prepares."
