[Paul Fryer]

*The S Word*, in partnership with *The School of Arts and Creative 
Industries at the University of East London,* presents the symposium:

*The S Word: Stanislavsky & Actor Training for the Screen.*

*Friday 31st May 2024*

*School of Arts and Creative Industries (ACI)*

*University of East London*

*University Square Stratford*

*1 Salway Place*

*London E15 1N*

*UK*

This Symposium invites teachers of screen acting to identify, 
investigate, articulate, document, and disseminate, through an edited 
volume that will follow the symposium, Stanislavsky-inspired practical 
tools for actor training for the screen. It also invites cinema scholars 
to consider how the actor’s craft affects cinematic processes and 
experiences.

The symposium invites papers, practical workshops and panel 
presentations for the following:

·Papers (20 minutes)

·Workshops/practical demonstrations (40 minutes)

·Panels with a minimum of three speakers (60 minutes)

Proposals of not more than 300 words should be accompanied by a brief 
biography, and emailed to _Professor Sharon Marie Carnicke_ 
(carnicke at usc.edu) and _Dr Evi Stamatiou_ (e.stamatiou at uel.ac.uk) to 
arrive no later than the _5^th January 2024_.

To prompt and inspire innovative adaptations and appropriations of 
Stanislavsky's system for the actor of today, the keynote address at the 
symposium will be a workshop led by Sharon Marie Carnicke, supported by 
Julian Alexander and Evi Stamatiou, exploring how Active Analysis can be 
applied during a screen acting class with a live camera feed. Sharon 
Marie Carnicke’s current research for her next book, /Acting Among 
Stars: The Material Poetry of Screen Performance/, builds upon her 
previous writings on film acting by focusing more squarely on how 
commonly taught acting techniques can be used to analyse and evaluate 
screen performances. Evi Stamatiou’s article /A screen actor prepares: 
Self-taping by reversing Stanislavsky’s Method of Physical Actions 
/(https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/20567790.2023.2196297) 
offers a practical tool for reversing the Method of Physical Actions for 
self-taping.

Successful proposals will be confirmed by the _5^th of February 2024_. 
Presentations will be considered for publication through an edited 
volume which will be published as part of the /Stanislavsky And.../ book 
series (Routledge, Taylor and Francis)

2024. Delegates are encouraged to also attend *The S Word: Stanislavsky 
& America* symposium that will take place the next day, June 1st, 2024,
