Method acting is known to be the major acting style in post World War 2 Hollywood. American alternative theatre directors in the 60s, especially those that were influenced by Artaud and Polish director Jerzy Grotowski, emphasized external gesticulations of the actors. Contrary to that Method acting, or as it is sometimes simply known, the Method, is a technique that was used by actors to fully live the role they are playing. Method acting revolutionized acting education in 30th. Even thou it is thought of as an American method of acting, in reality it was a Russian theatre and film director named Constantin Stanislavski who have designed the method and wrote many books on the subject. Then Method acting was popularized in the United States by the Group Theatre in New York City in the 1930s, and later was subsequently advanced by Lee Strasberg at the Actors Studio from the 1940s until his death in 1982.
