work of William <span
style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">Shakespeare</span> created
between 1589 and 1613 has for many represented the apex of
text-based performance and stagecraft in the Western world for
hundreds of years. The "system", an approach to acting
developed by Russian actor, director and teacher Constantin <span
style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">Stanislavsky</span> during
the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, can be seen
as the oxygen that contemporary theatre artists breathe in
training, rehearsal and performance. Is it possible for us to
find ways for our modern, naturalistic tradition of acting
based in <span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">Stanislavsky</span>'s
"system" to address the particular demands of <span
style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">Shakespeare</span>?
How might we as scholars, practitioners, teachers and
performers-in-training develop accessible and inclusive
approaches to these "two traditions" of Western performance
for the twenty-first century? </div>
