style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14pt; color: black;">America
as it is 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/MKHAT 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>
