| book description |

Stanislavsky and Race is the first book to explore the role that Konstantin Stanislavskyâ€™s â€œsystemâ€ and its legacies can play in building, troubling and illuminating todayâ€™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 â€œsystemâ€ is approached from a range of perspectives featuring the research, reflections and provocations of 20 different international artists interrogating Stanislavskyâ€™s approach through the lens of race, place and identity. Stanislavsky and â€¦ 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.
