Konstantin Sergeyevich Stanislavski (born Alekseyev, 1863 to 1938) was a seminal Russian and Soviet theatre practitioner, widely recognized as an outstanding character actor whose directed productions gave him a reputation as one of the leading theatre directors of his generation. His principal influence rests on his system of actor training, preparation and rehearsal technique; he co-founded the Moscow Art Theatre with Vladimir Nemirovich-Danchenko, whose landmark productions of The Seagull and Hamlet established his reputation, and through it he promoted the new Russian drama of Anton Chekhov, Maxim Gorky and Mikhail Bulgakov while shaping later major practitioners including Vsevolod Meyerhold and Michael Chekhov.
