The actor would "live life" on stage. Stanivlasky developed a set of exercises and principles designed to help the actor call on personal feelings and experiences, using the body and voice, also known as Theatre language
. These elements are used to create the role.
Actors learn to recall emotions from their own lives through the development of self-discipline, observation, meditating/relaxation, and utter concentration.
