Abstract: This article reviews Stanislavsky's studio practice through Henri Lefebvre's theories of everyday life. It broadens the scope of performer training by identifying the everyday as a further locus where its impact can be recognised. Three different ways through which studio practice impacts on everyday life – namely, the ‘surface’, ‘technical’, and ‘ethical’ levels – are evaluated. Notwithstanding its overt romantic and idealistic tone, Stanislavsky's ethics are proposed as a possible paradigm in mapping future considerations on performer training. The lectures which Stanislavsky delivered at the Bolshoi Opera Studio (1918–22) serve as the major case study to illustrate this exposition.
