- Summary
- "Stanislavsky and Race is the first book to explore the role that Constantine Stanislavsky's "system" and its legacies can play in building, troubling and illuminating today's anti-racist theatre practices. This collection of essays from leading figures in the field of actor training stands not only as a resource for a new area of academic enquiry, but also for students, actors, directors, teachers and academics who are engaged in making inclusive contemporary theatre. In seeking to dismantle the dogma that surrounds much actor training and replace it with a culturally competent approach that will benefit our entire community, the system is approached from a range of perspectives including Black British, LatinX, Jewish and African American. Stanislavsky and... is a series of multi-perspectival collections that bring the enduring legacy of Stanislavskian actor training into the spotlight of contemporary performance culture, making them ideal for students, teachers and scholars of acting, actor training, and directing"--
