'A superb resource, highly relevant for those choosing to study Stanislavski for Advanced Higehr Drama as well as closely following the unit specifications for AQA/EDEXCEL. Having spent the last 3 years teaching Stanislavski as a practitioner I would most definitely use this resource and recommend it to colleagues.'
KA Cairns, Advanced Higher Drama and Independet Reviewer
'I really like it! Perfectly accessible and works well for both teachers & students. The content is excellent, detailed and well presented. The exercises would fit well into any scheme of work.'
E Tinniswood, Drama Teacher and Independent Reviewer
'Useful for teachers and a big help for students trying to understand these complex ideas. The layout is very clear and the information accessible. If I was sitting planning a short course introduction to Stanislavski I would need to look no further. A very useful piece supporting good practice in busy times.'

'I enjoyed reading this resource [and] found it to be clear and comprehensible with an excellent choice of exercises... Students would gain a good understanding of the basic ideas and techniques, and be equipped to describe and discuss what they have learnt using appropriate technical language.'
G Jones, AST, former Head of Drama and Independent Reviewer | | 'The information offered was accurate and relatively easy to follow. It certainly could provide a framework for a SoW on Stanislavski. It had good practical exercises that could be transferred directly into classroom teaching [and] which 6th formers would enjoy and learn from.' A Campbell, Head of Drama and Independent Reviewer | 'A great introduction to Stanislavski... The exercises are carefully explained and detailed. The activities are sequential and therefore students' knowledge is developed. Students would be able to apply the knowledge they would gain following this resource to support their preparation for unit 2 [AQA] and their coursework notes. In terms of preparing for their production, if the right text was selected, it would be extremely helpful.' B Sibley, Drama Teacher and Independent Reviewer
| | 'I think that this resource is accurate, well written, easily accessible and written with secondary school pupils in mind... I liked that it was written in chronological order (in terms of using elements of the system to develop character) and that the examples were simple but relevant to pupils. I also liked that the explanations of the theory were brief and concise.' KA Cairns, Drama Teacher and Independent Reviewer | | 'Overall, I was impressed! Quite detailed and helpful... I like the quotations on every page — useful for discussion. A great resource to use in a workshop situation, as suggested, and having the resource would enable colleagues to team teach very easily — without the usual hours of preparation! I would also consider getting some of my higher ability A level students to use it with younger years, perhaps as an extra-curricular activity or as one of our 'Open Day' activities.' J Ackerley, Drama and English Teacher and Independent Reviewer | | 'I haven't been able to find any resources on the subject that have been this accessible. The Assessment Objectives are covered at the beginning and the activities included would allow the students to write up some very focused exploration notes to be submitted. This is the first year I have taught this and I think the guide will prove invaluable.' N Worgan, Edexcel Drama Teacher and Independent Reviewer | | 'A good introduction to Stanislavski for A Level students. The resource is very user-friendly in that it guides teachers and pupils through The System step-by-step with clear explanations. The ideas contained within it are effective and sequential which allows for a development of knowledge and understanding.' R Jones, Drama Teacher and Independent Reviewer | | 'A concise yet thorough overview of Stanislavski and some of his techniques. The resource is an excellent way of practically exploring the techniques and ideas of Stanislavski. It showed how the exercises could be developed to enhance and develop your understanding and portrayal of a role. The resource works very well with the spec and would be an excellent resource to structure a scheme of work attached to a specific play. The exercises have practical applications and are suitable for A Level teaching. Informative and useful.' M Kocziban, HoD and A Level Examiner, and Independent Reviewer | | 'Well-laid out and easy to follow for both students and teachers. It is extemely comprehensive and is pitched at exactly the right level. The presentation was excellent with some nice illustrations and diagrams which enhanced the learning. It explains Stanislavski and his work at the right level for A level students... Very good for [Edexcel] Unit 1 when you need to do text work based on a practitioner.' I Reade, HoD and Independent Reviewer |
