ExplainExplain the importance of the Magical Self and the Given Circumstances in Stanislavskij's psycho technique. Please refer to any practical examples that may help explain this. MR GROGAN H/W In this essay I will explain the work we have done recently during this mandate and the relevance to our study of Stanislavski's psychotechnics. I will describe how his ideas of "Magic If" and "Given Circumstances" contribute to the importance of this technique. Stanislavski had several ideas about how to achieve a sense of inner and outer truth in terms of his character, one of which is the "magic self". If is a word that can transform our thoughts; through it we can imagine ourselves in practically any situation. "If I suddenly became rich..." "If I were on vacation in the Caribbean..." "If I had great talent..." "If that person who insulted me approached me again..." The word "if" becomes a powerful lever for the mind; it has the ability to lift us out of ourselves and give us a sense of absolute certainty regarding imaginary circumstances. The answer to these simple questions can be a stepping stone to creativity and inspiration, because it allows the actor to realize that he is living an imaginary life, a fruit of the writer's imagination, with sets and props which are not real-life homes and settings. When we first look at the “Magical If,” Stanislavski makes us aware that an actor must logically justify his actions in accordance with real life. Therefore he must act according to his passions in the character and not play with them, acting internally and externally with complete rationalization. By using the “Magic If” the actor gives himself permission to “believe” in these imaginary objects, this allows the actor to move from the world of reality to the world in which creative work can be done. Based on the idea of ​​"The Magic" If we used this idea to draw on our experiences and imagination to get into character in a recent speech, each of us would have to learn. To get into my character, Puck from "A Midsummer Night's Dream", I used the idea of ​​the "Magical If" to stimulate my imagination, consequently entering the soul of my character, freeing myself from a creative belief in their mind. Asking me questions, presenting me with possible obstacles and... middle of paper... tree, describing in detail exactly what he saw. What was happening? This allowed the actor to awaken the senses, to be made aware of the circumstances he was in, the smell, the sights, the weather, and thus to open his imagination to set the circumstances and reasons behind which it takes place the story, for example why they are having a picnic- why it is a hot day, etc. The actor can imagine and transmit to Stanislavski his story (like an oak) an uninterrupted series of visual images, while maintaining the idea of ​​artistic scenic reality. The "given circumstances" and the "magic if" of psychotechnics inspire the actors; they bring out emotions while training their artistic sense of faith. Both make them aware of and surround them with the world created by the writer or director. It also provides imagination and the ability to explore the world with the ability to understand the reasons for "given circumstances". “Given circumstances” are the set of limitations you are given as an actor, the “magic if” that helps you develop an understanding of the role you are playing and stick to it, while inspiring justified imagination and spirit of the character..
