*    /An International Conference/*

*/        Keynote Speaker:/** Charles Marowitz*

 

The University of Toronto=s Graduate Centre for Study of Drama in 
collaboration with Acadia University=s Theatre Studies Program is 
pleased to present, *AStanislavsky and Directing: Theory, Practice, 
Influence,**@* *January 20-21, 2006, *the first gathering in Canada 
devoted to exploring the ideas and influences of Constantin Stanislavsky 
on the art of directing.

 

An international assembly of artists and scholars from theatre and 
related disciplines will examine a wide range of issues and 
perspectives, providing occasion for formal and informal dialogue.   

 

*Charles Marowitz*, acclaimed director, teacher, playwright and critic 
will deliver the keynote address.            

 

Of special interest is a hands-on workshop for directors, AThe Method 
Director,@ conducted by *Gene Lasko* of the New School University, New 
York and longtime member of the Actors Studio, and an illustrated talk, 
AStanislavsky and Indigenous Performance, by *Marrie Mumford*, of 
Métis/Chippewa-Cree ancestry, who will share her journey with the work 
of Stanislavsky through her teachers Morris Carnovsky, Sonia Moore, 
Herbert Bergoff and Irma Landry.

 

Conveners John Astington and Anna Migliarisi are delighted with the 
array of activities and range of presentations packed into a mere two 
days. AWe expect lively discussion on many aspects of Stanislavsky=s 
evolving directorial theories and practice. The international 
participation will add an important dimension; we all benefit from 
hearing the views of others who may bring a fresh perspective to the topic.@

 

This conference has been made possible with the generous support of the 
Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada; the English 
Department of Acadia University; and the Connaught Fund and the Emilio 
Goggio Chair in Italian Studies at the University of Toronto.
