The work of William Shakespeare has for many represented the
apex of text-based performance in the Western world. The
"system", an approach to acting developed by Constantin
Stanislavsky during the late nineteenth and early twentieth
centuries, can be seen as the oxygen that contemporary theatre
artists breathe. 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>
