Jean Benedetti
Commentary
Bella Merlin describes Benedetti’s ‘critical role in the English-language dissemination of Stanislavsky’s history and practice’, and the relationship between Benedetti’s comments and her own work.
This interview sees Jean Benedetti discussing some of the main precepts of Stanislavsky’s work, including Stanislavsky’s relation to Chekhov, Shchepkin, Meyerhold and others.
Bella Merlin’s practical presentation uses Stanislavsky’s Six Fundamental Questions to contextualise a demonstration of ‘practice as research’ riffing off his work, as well as Maria Knebel’s.
