Lee Strasberg's Method

McAllister, Peter (2018) Lee Strasberg's Method. Stanislavski Studies, 6 (1). pp. 105-110. ISSN 2056-7790

Abstract

Lee Strasberg (1901–1982) is a divisive figure whose method of acting is often misunderstood. Few people really know what it is or how it works, or what is its true relationship to the Stanislavski System. This is due to a number of misconceptions about the nature of his training with its emphasis on the development of the sensory imagination. This paper aims to challenge some of the myths about the Method, and to clarify Strasberg’s unique contribution to actor training.
