*WHAT:*
The work of William Shakespeare has for many represented the apex of 
text-based performance in the Western world. The "system", an approach 
to acting developed by Constantin Stanislavsky during the late 
nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, can be seen as the oxygen that 
contemporary theatre artists breathe. 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?
