De 1928, date des premières représentations de Siegfried, à sa mort, en janvier 1944, Jean Giraudoux a écrit une quinzaine de pièces de théâtre qui font de lui, avec Claudel, l'auteur français le plus very important de l. a. première moitié du XXe siècle.
S'il a continué à être joué et lu depuis l. a. guerre, c'est qu'il a été le dernier écrivain à croire que le théâtre faisait partie intégrante de l. a. littérature. Loin de tout réalisme, ce théâtre prolonge jusqu'à nous les prestiges du classicisme français, dont Giraudoux a retrouvé le kind en le teintant d'ironie savante. l. a. tradition, chez lui, ne peut faire oublier son modernisme ni son appartenance à une époque qu'il a voulu placer entre les parenthèses de deux guerres.
Grand créateur de personnages, vus souvent à travers les acteurs prestigieux de l. a. troupe de Jouvet qui les ont interprétés en top-rated, Giraudoux se signale à nous non seulement pas l. a. perfection de l'écriture, mais par une sensibilité qui lui fait retrouver, si abstrait et si raffiné soit-il, l. a. réalité des passions. Son humour léger ne l'écarte pas non plus d'une morale du bonheur, où l'éternel féminin joue un rôle de most well known plan.
Qu'il utilise les grands thèmes classiques ou qu'il invente des occasions et des personnages inédits, le théâtre de Giraudoux, plus grave qu'il ne paraît, veut nous réconcilier avec los angeles vie. man Dumur

Example text

Being free from unnecessary muscular tension is therefore one of the most important things for an actor. You cannot imagine how damaging muscular tension and physical tightness can be to the creative process. (Stanislavski 2008b: 120) 31 32 BASIC TRAINING Stanislavski understood the importance of muscular release, as he put it, learning to be onstage without stiffening, in fear, or from making an effort. The state of stiffening is counterproductive to the creative state, to actors’ ability to express themselves freely.

Stanislavski describes in My Life in Art how he had himself locked up in a deserted castle overnight in the attempt to find internal experience for the main character of Pushkin’s Miser Knight – an old man who lives in isolation in a castle. All that happened was that Stanislavski caught a cold (2008a: 95). What he found worked was that he could find the seeds for experiencing in the role by exploring his sense and emotion memories. The important thing is that our previous experience can give us the information we need to develop the character’s inner life, and emotion memory can be used to help us consider this.

So first of all sit comfortably and easily as though you were at home … Ninety-five per cent less tension! (2008b: 322) British actress Edith Evans said, ‘You only really begin to act when you leave off trying’ (Redgrave 1995: xiii). SENSE AND EMOTION MEMORY If the actor is in the creative state, is attentive and not in a state of tension or anxiety, then they are prepared for experiencing, bringing the role to life from within, which encapsulates what Stanislavski prioritised in the actor’s emotional expression – that it expresses what makes us human, the human experience.
