currently imaged conjures a multitude of questions, about
hegemonies of gender and sexuality, racism,
multi-representation (inclusivity) and repair. We are
looking for those whose practice and scholarship around
these issues, and around America itself -as a construct
and reality- intersect with their work on
Stanislavsky/MKAT in unique and exciting ways. We are
defining ‘American’ as ‘in the context of’: those who
identify as American, or those global practitioners
engaging with the work of American adaptations or
translations of the work of Stanislavsky and MKHAT.</span></p>
