A task (zadacha) is what the given circumstances demand from a character in a drama, to which the actor responds with action. The standard edition of Stanislavski's writings translates his term as "task", but it has also been translated as "objective" and "problem". From as early as his work at the First Studio in the 1910s, Stanislavski taught that action is what an actor does to attempt to fulfil a task. Konstantin Stanislavski's 'system' of training, preparation, and rehearsal technique considers what actors communicate through their actions to be as important as the actual dialogue that they speak.
