Inspired by Stanislavski’s An Actor Prepares, this senior thesis follows a student learning to act under the tutelage of an acting teacher specializing in being “real”. The thesis explores different techniques and lessons pioneered by 20th-century acting teachers while questioning what it means to train as an actor.
