Early Influences • Being increasingly interested in ‘living the part’ Stanislavski was able to maintain characterization in real life. • Disguising himself as a tramp or drunk and visiting railway station, or disguising himself as a fortune-telling gypsy. • Stanislavski then took his characterization in real life to the rest of his cast to then make a short comedy in which he performed in 1883. • In 1884, he began vocal training under Fyodor PetrovichKomissarzhevsky, with who he also explored the co-ordination of voice and body. • Together they made exercises in moving and sitting stationary “rhythmically”, which anticipated Stanislavski’s later use of physical rhythm when teaching his system to opera singers.
