The work of William Shakespeare 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 Stanislavsky
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 influenced by Stanislavsky's "system" to
address the particular demands of Shakespeare? 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>
