*/The S Word: Stanislavsky & America /*
Saturday, 1 June 2024
Rose Bruford College, Burnt Oak Lane, Sidcup,DA15 9DF. UK

America is it is currently imaged conjures a multitude of questions, 
about hegemonies of gender and sexuality, racism, multi-representation 
(inclusivity) and repair. We are looking for those whose practice and 
scholarship around these issues, and around America itself -as a 
construct and reality- intersect with their work on Stanislavsky/MKAT in 
unique and exciting ways. We are defining ‘American’ as ‘in the context 
of’: those who identify as American, or those global practitioners 
engaging with the work of American adaptations or translations of the 
work of Stanislavsky and MKHAT.

Teachers/researchers of acting and performance are invited to explore, 
identify, investigate, articulate, document, and present American 
practices/practitioners that facilitate/create/invite 
multi-representative (‘inclusive’) practices and perspectives.

Provocations include:

How are American anti-racist theatre practitioners 
using/adapting/developing Stanislavsky and the Moscow Art Collective’s work?

·How are American disabled theatre companies and actors/actor trainers 
of determination using/adapting/developing Stanislavsky and MKHAT’s work?

·How are American practitioners queering Stanislavsky and MKHAT’s work, 
or using/adapting/developing these works in queer training spaces?

·How are American practitioners working in gender equity/equality 
theatre spaces using/adapting/developing Stanislavsky and MKHAT’s work?

discussions. We now invite proposals for the following:
