Pretend what you see is real...

While Stanislavski method of acting is to act naturalistically and not to affect audience at all. You have to feel and believe your environment, what you see is real and happens in real life.
On the other hand Antonin Artaud presents the other way around. Acting should affect the audience as much as possible. You don't have to feel and believe what you see is real, you pretend it's real. Artaud's method involves more physical expression and gestures, therefore the act doesn't look naturalistic. How to make your act easier to read and understand by the audience? to let them involve in the story? More body gestures will help the audience understand the story.

Since I come from animation background, the way I understand is that Artaud's method is to add exagerration into your act but don't misunderstand it with Melodrama (Shakespeare like, over the top act :), not showing off). I am guessing this method is injected to most of animation, should be maybe. It's much easier to understand what's going on on the stage compared to Stanislavski's method. A performance is much easier to read using Artaud's method compared to Stanislavski. I think this is more appealing if you want to apply this method in your animation.

Let's take an example: I want to go to sleep.
Stanislavski: You are probably very tired, after coming back from work, you don't want to eat dinner that's already prepared by your wife/husband, you go to living room straight away, sit on a couch, rest your head, look at the ceilings and say "I want to go to sleep"

Artaud: The same context as above, a person tired, coming back from work, sit on a couch, you looked at your wife/ husband and say "I want to go to sleep" while putting your head on your hands (making gestures that you want to sleep on a bed)

I hope I make myself clear. If not, you can discuss with me or google it :), it's quite hard to put it in words. All right then, I too want to go to sleep...

Thanks
