How can we as scholars, practitioners, teachers and performers-in-training excavate Stanislavsky’s writings, cull effective modalities, and develop inclusive techniques moving forward? Or is Stanislavsky's 'system' simply no longer useful in the twenty-first century as we create anti-racist approaches to our work?
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 based at London South Bank University, and is supported by The Stanislavsky Research Centre.
