_STANISLAVSKY and SHAKESPEARE:___
Speaking to the "Two Traditions" in the Twenty-first Century

An international symposium presented by The S Word in partnership with 
Shakespeare at Notre Dame, The Theatre School at DePaul University, the 
Institute for Scholarship in the Liberal Arts (College of Arts and 
Letters, University of Notre Dame) and Professor Peter Holland, McMeel 
Family Professor in Shakespeare Studies at the University of Notre Dame.

*CO-CONVENERS:*
Siiri Scott, Head of Acting and Directing, Affiliate Faculty of the 
Initiative on Race and Resilience, University of Notre Dame (US), 
Co-editor of "Stanislavsky and Race"
Dr Gerald 'Jay' Paul Skelton, Lecturer, The Royal Central School of 
Speech and Drama (UK), Co-Editor of "Stanislavsky and Race"

*WHEN:*
Friday and Saturday
25 and 26 April 2025

*WHERE:*
The Dr. John R. and Joyce L. Watts Theatre, The Theatre School at DePaul 
University, 2350 N Racine Ave, Chicago, Illinois, 60614, United States

*WHAT:*
The work of William Shakespeare created between 1589 and 1613 
has for many represented the apex of text-based performance and 
stagecraft in the Western world for hundreds of years. The "system", an 
approach to acting developed by Russian actor, director and teacher 
Constantin Stanislavsky during the late nineteenth and early twentieth 
centuries, can be seen as the oxygen that contemporary theatre artists 
breathe in training, rehearsal and performance. 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?

*HOW:*
We invite proposals for in-person participation in the form of 
individual papers (15 minutes), but particularly encourage 
practical/workshop sessions (30 minutes)

We also welcome in-person participation in new and/or non-traditional 
formats that reflect your specific content or needs.

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 Monday 24 March 2025. Please also include a short 
biography.

*ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:*
This event is the second of two symposia (with the first held in the UK 
in summer 2025) to serve as the key sources 
for "Stanislavsky & Shakespeare", one of the 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 supported by 
The Stanislavsky Research Centre, co-hosted by the University of 
Leeds and the University of Malta.
