The work of Konstantin Stanislavsky and the Moscow Art Theatre has been 
translated, appropriated, and adopted as the basis of actor training for 
a century. The language of Stanislavsky’s 'system' of acting is 
ubiquitous in universities and professional stages, and directors expect 
performers to be fluent in its terminology and application/s. How can we 
as scholars, practitioners, teachers and performers-in-training excavate 
Stanislavsky’s writings, cull effective modalities, and develop 
inclusive techniques moving forward? Or is Stanislavsky's 'system' 
simply no longer useful in the twenty-first century as we create 
anti-racist approaches to our work?

*We invite proposals* for participation in the following formats:

  * an individual conventional paper (15 minutes);
  * practical/workshop session (30 minutes);
  * panel presentations - a minimum of 3 speakers (45 minutes)

We also welcome participation in new and/or non-traditional formats that 
reflect your specific content or needs. Please also note your 
contribution can be offered in person or online (streamed or recorded) 
as necessary.

Please send a short written proposal of no more than 200 words to Siiri 
Scott (sscott2 at nd.edu <mailto:sscott2 at nd.edu>) and Dr Gerald 'Jay' Paul 
Skelton (jay.skelton at cssd.ac.uk <mailto:jay.skelton at cssd.ac.uk>) to 
arrive no later than *Friday 17 September 2021*. Please also include a 
short biography.

The symposium serves as the key source for 'Stanislavsky & Race', the 
first title in a series of books to be published by Routledge under the 
banner 'Stanislavsky & …' that focuses on the legacy and teaching of 
Konstantin Stanislavsky in the context of major contemporary themes and 
creative /performance genres.

*The S Word* is a collaborative international research project with 
partners in the UK, Europe, USA and Australia. Founded by Bella Merlin 
and Paul Fryer, the project explores the legacy of Stanislavsky's work 
within a contemporary context. The S Word is based at London South Bank 
University, and is supported by The Stanislavsky Research Centre.
