Welcome
This conference brings together theatre researchers and artists from
various parts of the globe to explore the directorial principles,
practices and legacy of the pioneering Russian director, actor, teacher and
theorist, Constantin Stanislavsky
(1863-1938). This marks the first gathering in Canada devoted to the
work of Stanislavsky and features an assembly
of international academicians and professionals from theatre and related
disciplines from Australia, Canada, Denmark, Italy, Nigeria, South Africa, the United Kingdom and the United States who bring a
multitude of perspectives and points of entry into this incredibly
complicated subject matter.

The program features a workshop for directors, The Method
Director, conducted by Gene Lasko of the New
School University, New York. Marrie Mumford, of Métis/ Chippewa-Cree ancestry, will give an
illustrated talk, Stanislavsky and Indigenous
Performance, sharing her journey with the work of Stanislavsky
through her teachers Morris Carnovsky, Sonia
Moore, Herbert Bergoff and Irma Sandry. Charles Marowitz,
acclaimed director, playwright, teacher, critic, author of over a dozen
books on theatre, and proponent of Stanislavsky’s approach to acting and directing, will deliver the keynote
address.
Plans are
underway to publish a peer-reviewed collection of essays reflecting the
sweep of issues and perspectives surrounding the theme of the conference;
this publication will add important dimensions to current scholarship on Stanislavsky.
