john,
i haven't read either but, i will check out mamet. i am under the
impression that stanislavsky has been misinterpreted by ...uh...what's his
name...the actor's studio guy (strasberg?). i like stanislavsky's sensory
exercise - using the memory of how something felt to create a different
place, at least, for the actor (it probably stops there).
my favorite piece of acting advice comes from spencer tracy - "know
your lines!"
