'The Magic If'

The Magic If is a Stanislavskian method which involves the actor putting themselves into their character and giving them a random situation think about what their character would do in this circumstance. This could lead to improvisation and letting the actor indulge in the scene in their character.

Stanislavsky believed that no actor could truly believe in the truth of events however he believed that you can begin to believe in the possibility of those events. He believed that if you create difficult circumstances for yourself, your effort to solve them automatically leads you to natural internal and external reactions.

"All action in the theatre must have an inner justification, logical, coherent and real" - Stanislavski
