Recommended: Stalin social reforms
Stanislavsky was born in 1863, in Russia; by birth he was named Konstanin sergeevch. Throughout life he saw social and scientific changes as centuries developed. During his life he witnessed three great revolutions: realism’s overturn of nineteenth-century histrionics, modernisms rejection of realism and Russia’s political move to communism from the monarchy. The realism’s overturn of the nineteenth-century histrionics and the modernism rejection of realism really shaped his career, making him world famous and the last stripped him of his wealth and left him more focused on political forces as opposed to theatre.
He was born into a wealthy family, giving him a privileged youth. This allowed him to follow theatre as they could afford to build
Stanisvalski a theatre at the family estate in 1877. He used this wealth to further his talents as an actor/ director, financing most of his experiments. In 1888 he founded the critically acclaimed theatre enterprise, the society of Art and literature and in 1912 he started his first studio to develop his system for actor training. Until aged 33, Stanislvlaski only performed and directed as an amateur, as actors were regarded as lower-class citizens. His family discouraged his aspirations to turn his acting career professional as it threatened social embarrassment. This led to him beginning acting in 1884 without his family knowing, under the stage name Stanislvasky. The playwright and theatre educator Danchenko hired Stanisvalsky as his co-director to reconstruct theatre's plays. Their first meeting was eighteen hours long, creating their company bringing latest European ideas realism to Russia, and new acting standards to the world. The Seagull created a link between his name and theatre. His themes weren’t excepted so he setup his own studios so that he could control and he still practiced his theatrical studies. During the Civil war Stanislavsky lost his fortunes and his family’s possessions, so he sold his things to survive. He lived the last four years of his life alone to maintain his public image.
