What is Konstantin Stanislavski?
{{Infobox writer <!-- for more information see [[:Template:Infobox Writer/doc]] --> | name = Konstantin Stanislavski | image = Bundesarchiv Bild 183-18073-0003, Konstantin Sergejewitsch Stanislawski.jpg | imagesize = 230px | box_width = 300px | birth_date = Konstantin Sergeievich [[Alexeyev|Alekseiev]]<br>{{OldStyleDate|17 January|1863|5 January}}<ref name=dates>For dates before the Soviet state's switch from the [[Julian calendar]] to the [[Gregorian calendar]] in February 1918, this article gives the date in the [[Adoption of the Gregorian calendar#Adoption in Eastern Europe|New Style]] (Gregorian) date-format first, followed by the same day in the [[Adoption of the Gregorian calendar#Adoption in Eastern Europe|Old Style]] (Julian) date-format (which appears in square brackets and slightly smaller); this is to facilitate comparison between primary and secondary sources. The difference between the two is 12 days for Julian dates prior to 1 March 1900 [Gregorian 14 March] and 13 days for Julian dates on or after 1 March 1900. Thus, Stanislavski was born on the 17 January according to the Gregorian calendar that is in use today, while his birthday was 5 January according to the Julian calendar that was in use at the time. For more information on the difference between the two systems, see the article [[Adoption of the Gregorian calendar]]. Dates after 1 February 1918 are presented as normal.</ref> | birth_place = [[Moscow]], [[Russian Empire]] | death_date = {{death date and age|1938|8|7|1863|1|17|df=y}}<!-- Both dates must be in the Gregorian (N.S.) calendar. --> | death_place = [[Moscow]], [[Soviet Union]] | occupation = [[Actor]]<br>[[Theatre director]]<br>[[Theatre practitioner|Theatre theorist]] | movement = [[Naturalism (theatre)|Naturalism]]<br>[[Symbolism (arts)|Symbolism]]<br>[[Realism (theatre)|Psychological realism]]<br>[[Socialist realism]] | spouse = Maria Petrovna Perevostchikova<br>([[stage name]]: Maria Lilina) | notableworks = Founder of the [[Moscow Art Theatre|MAT]]<br>[[Stanislavski's system|St
