<p><font color="#000000"><font face="arial,
sans-serif">The work of Konstantin Stanislavsky
and the Moscow Art Theatre has been translated,
appropriated, and adopted as the basis of actor
training for a century. The language of
Stanislavsky’s 'system' of acting is
ubiquitous in universities and professional
stages, and directors expect performers to be
fluent in its terminology and application/s. </font><span
style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">How can we
as scholars, practitioners, teachers and
performers-in-training excavate Stanislavsky’s
writings, cull effective modalities, and develop
inclusive techniques moving forward? Or is
Stanislavsky's 'system' simply no longer useful
in the twenty-first century as we create
anti-racist approaches to our work?</span></font></p>
