*/Stanislavsky and Race: Questioning the 'System' in the 21st Century/*

An international online symposium hosted by the University of Notre Dame

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?
