<p class="MsoCommentText" style="margin:0cm"><span
style="font-family:
"Arial",sans-serif" lang="EN-AU">Stanislavski was clear that
the actor must <i>take their place</i> in the theatre. His
writings are full of injunctions to reflexively situate
oneself with respect to the stage, set, actors, objectives,
and so on. Echoing Stanislavski’s conceptual and physical
praxis, modernist performance makers such as Meyerhold and
Schlemmer went on to postulate that the <i>actor brought
their own sense of place onto the stage</i>, shaping the
performance space and enabling performer to align themselves,
their attention, and their movements to a range of axial
placements and combinations, as in Laban’s kinesphere. Later
theatre makers as varied as Declan Donnellan and Suzuki
Tadashi have suggested that the theatre is a <i>place of
life-and-death struggle</i>, a site where a battle for
survival is conducted by both characters and the actors
themselves.</span></p>

<p class="MsoCommentText" style="margin:0cm"><span
style="font-family:
"Arial",sans-serif" lang="EN-AU">The act of the performer <i>taking
their place</i> in their body in the theatre developed in
parallel to the importance of ‘place’ in the world of the
playwright and in the places represented on stage.
Stanislavski’s not always happy peer, Anton Chekhov, has been
described as the “first <i>environmental playwright</i>,”
with scripts such as <i>Uncle Vanya</i> (1898) and <i>The
Cherry Orchard</i> (1904) being concerned with the places
wherein they are set, with the environmental and
socio-political conditions and<i> </i>histories etched across
their landscapes. Interestingly, there is a rich tradition of
Australian plays which are strongly connected to place, <i>No
Sugar</i> (Jack Davis, 1985), <i>Cloudstreet </i>(<span
style="color:black;background:white">Nick Enright and Justin
Monjo, 1998, </span>after the novel by Tim Winton), <i>When
the rain stops falling</i> (Andrew Bovell, 2008), and more
recently, <i>City of Gold </i>(Meyne Wyatt, 2019).</span></p>
