<p><font face="arial, sans-serif" color="#000000">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. 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?</font></p>
