Stanislavski's system:
The system is the result of Stanislavski's many years of efforts to determine how someone can control in performance the most intangible and uncontrollable aspects of human behavior, such as emotions and artistic inspiration.
The system is based on an actor being "in the moment" but always staying one step away from complete belief. Actors may use as much or as little as they please in their rehearsals, and was intended to be modified for the individual.
Techniques involve a "Round the table analysis" - a process in which the actor/s and director literally sit around a table and put forward their thoughts on the script and the characters until a clear understanding is formed. His "homework" involved breaking the script into sections of different "objectives." This would be different for each actor involved.
(see post: "sections units" for our take on this)
