to arrive no later than <b>Friday 16th February (extended

</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"

offers a practical tool for reversing the Method of Physical
Actions for self-taping.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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>
