"Active Analysis combines Maria Knebel's two books, 'On Active Analysis of the Play & the Role' and 'The Word in the Actor's Creative Work' in an edition conceived by one of Knebel's most famous students, the renowned theatre and film director, Anatoli Vassiliev. Maria Knebel, a student of Michael Chekhov, Stanislavski and Nemirovich-Danchenko, and Stanislavski's close collaborator during his final years at the Opera-Dramatic Studio, was instrumental in promoting and disseminating their acting and directing methodologies through her teaching and directing practice. This is the first English translation of an important and authoritative fragment of the great Stanislavski jigsaw. A landmark publication. This book condenses two of Knebel's most important books into one volume and is an indispensable resource for professional directors, student directors, actors and researchers interested in Stanislavski, directing, rehearsal methods and theatre studies more generally"-- Provided by publisher.
