The main idea behind stanislavski's way of thinking is basically making the actor get into the mind frame of the character they're acting. For example, giving them slight traits, such as a limp or having a headache, real world scenarios that would effect the way they move, talk, and act overall. For example, when we applied this to a scene between Ton and the kid in gotcha, we assigned these different aspects to the characters and then made sure that we were able to show them off to the audience. it added a sense of realism to the piece and allowed us to give our characters a deeper motion in how they acted, understanding that if they had a headache or an argument just before that they'd be uptight and constantly being niggled by these difficulties. In the partnership I was in we also had a pacing circle between the two characters to show a kind of trapped animal mentality. It allowed us to show how riled up and annoyed they were, sick of being trapped and ready to claw at each others throats to try and get out. I think that it did help us to get a deeper meaning from our characters and let us focus on how they'd act in different scenarios.
