naturalistic and stylistic are 2 types of acting. naturalistic is very true to life... stylistic acting is highly over exaggerated movements and is a form of physical acting. you can take a very serious plot for an example and play props as people.

He used naturalistic acting
Non-naturalistic Drama is acting away from the norm, for example you would walk in a bizarre way, it can be a way of showing something is changing. its used a lot in drama to show a persons state of mind etc. This is the modern understanding of Non-naturalistic Drama, which began as something of a revolt against Naturalistic Drama / Theatre, a style made very popular by Konstantin Stanislavsky and later by Strasberg and others who adopted and adapted his principles into what has come to be called, The Method or Method Acting. Naturalistic Drama developed as recently as the late 19th to early 20th century. The most famous opponent of Naturalistic Drama was Bertolt Brecht, who put forth the style or technique of Alienation, which shatters the illusion of Realism in a performance at various points in order to get the audience to forget the performance and re-focus on the message / issues that the play addresses. Since Naturalistic Drama developed so late in the theatre time-line, however, every form of theatre before it is thus, by definition, Non-naturalistic. From the time humans first began performing for an audience of more than one, the constraints of having to be visible and audible to many have dictated that theatrical actions be loud and exaggerated. Arms are swung dramatically, the voice is projected many decibels above normal speech, etc. In some forms, costumes are colourful and far removed from normal, everyday clothes. Performances may be stylised and incorporate music, song and dance. A couple of examples are Japanese Kabuki and Indian Kathakali. All these can be said to be Non-naturalistic Drama or Theatre.
Non-naturalistic conventions are the unnatural norms used in the theater performing arts. Some of these are: use of projection to convey a message. use of placards and signs, use of voice overs and actors speaking stage directions aloud.
A naturalistic play is a play that is like real life and not unrealistic. Most films and TV programmes have an element of naturalism.
Quasi-naturalistic in a theatrical definition means: a naturalism form used within a play but with absurdist overtones/elements to it. - Graeme Blundell.
In "Ghosts" by Henrik Ibsen, naturalistic elements can be seen in the depiction of characters facing consequences of societal norms and expectations, the exploration of inherited traits and family secrets, as well as the portrayal of psychological and emotional struggles. The play's focus on heredity and environmental influence on characters' behavior reflects naturalistic themes of determinism and the impact of past actions on present circumstances. Additionally, the setting of the play, a decaying estate surrounded by a symbolic landscape, adds to the naturalistic atmosphere.

in psychology terms what is a naturalistic experiment and a longitudinal study?
"Blue Remembered Hills" is considered naturalistic because it focuses on the lives of working-class children in realistic settings, without romanticizing or glorifying their experiences. The play explores themes of violence, innocence, and the impact of social environment on individual behavior, reflecting a naturalistic approach that aims to depict life as it is without idealization.
