The Madness of the Method.

Method Acting is an technique used by actors to create thoughts and feelings of their characters, so they can develop lifelike performances. Although not all method actors use the same approach, the "method" in method acting usually refers to the practise. This was influenced by Constantin Stanislavski and created by Lee Strasberg. Actors draw upon their own emotions and memories in their portrayals. This is aided by a set of exercises and practises including sense memory and affective memory. Method acting shares similarities with Stanislavski's system.
Method actors are often characterised as immersing themselves in their characters to the extent that they continue to portray them even offstage or off-camera for the duration of a project. However, this while some actors have employed this approach, it is generally not taught as part of the Method.
Method acting has been described as having "revolutionised American theatre."                                  
Classical acting instruction "had focused on developing external talents, but the Method is the first systematised training that also developed internal abilities.
Method acting continues to evolve, with many contemporary acting teachers, schools, and colleges teaching an integrated approach that draws from several different schools of thought about acting.
