to arrive no later than the <u>5<sup>th</sup> January 2024</u>.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">To prompt and inspire innovative
adaptations and appropriations of Stanislavsky's system for
the actor of today, the keynote address at the symposium
will be a workshop led by Sharon Marie Carnicke, supported
by Julian Alexander and Evi Stamatiou, exploring how Active
Analysis can be applied during a screen acting class with a
live camera feed. Sharon Marie Carnicke’s current research
for her next book, <i>Acting Among Stars: The Material
Poetry of Screen Performance</i>, builds upon her previous
writings on film acting by focusing more squarely on how
commonly taught acting techniques can be used to analyse and
evaluate screen performances. Evi Stamatiou’s article <i>A
screen actor prepares: Self-taping by reversing
Stanislavsky’s Method of Physical Actions </i>(<a
href="https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/20567790.2023.2196297"
class="moz-txt-link-freetext" moz-do-not-send="true">https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/20567790.2023.2196297</a>)
offers a practical tool for reversing the Method of Physical
Actions for self-taping.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Successful proposals will be confirmed by
the <u>5<sup>th</sup> of February 2024</u>. Presentations
will be considered for publication through an edited volume
which will be published as part of the <i>Stanislavsky
And...</i> book series (Routledge, Taylor and Francis) </p>
