It’s been three years since the first edition of The S Word. And here we are, opening the fourth meeting in Malta. For The S Word to have made it this far, we have of course to thank Prof. Paul Fryer and Prof. Bella Merlin for their hard work and leadership. It was indeed a pleasure for me to convene this fourth edition with Prof. Fryer. For this edition we have opted to use as a framing theme the idea of ‘Stanislavski in Context’. We hoped for proposals to reflect on Stanislavsky’s work within the social, cultural, and political milieus in which it developed, without however forgetting the ways in which this work was transmitted, adapted, and appropriated within recent and current theatre contexts. We looked forward to receive papers and workshop proposals that were both historical as well as contemporary, and for participants to think of Stanislavsky as an instigator of modern theatre and a paradigm for performance practices within twenty-first- century training and performance scenarios. I am happy to say that the symposium’s call for proposals received a very positive response, and today we can look forward to a full programme that explores Stanislavsky’s work in its endless variety. On behalf of my colleagues within the Department of Theatre Studies I would like to welcome you all to Malta and to this wonderful building of the UM Valletta Campus. The Campus serves as a setting for the hosting of international conferences, seminars, short courses, and summer schools. It also incorporates the Valletta Campus Theatre, which is home to a lot of the Department’s practical work, training, and performances. The Department itself is this year celebrating, with Music Studies, its thirty years anniversary. Throughout these three decades it has developed into an international institution with strong links in Europe and outside the continent. It is a partner of The S Word, and its staff are members on, amongst others, the IFTR Executive, the Editorial Board of the Stanislavski Studies journal, and the Medinea Network. It hosts yearly workshops and seminars by visiting practitioners and academies from abroad, and has recently produced book publications on performer training in the twenty-first century, the relationship between carnival and power, theatre communities, and interdisciplinary performance. May I take this opportunity to invite you to have a look at the Department’s website (https://www.um.edu.mt/performingarts/theatre) and to get in touch with us to discuss possible collaborations. Today, however, it is our mutual interest in Stanislavsky that has brought us together. His work remains engaging in its complexity, fascinating in its applicability, and captivating in the questions that it raises. Certainly, the Symposium will raise several such questions and engage us all in possible answers. The Symposium is supported by the School of Performing Arts of the University of Malta and Teatru Malta, Malta’s National Theatre. Prof. Sergei Tcherkasski’s visit is supported by the Russian Centre for Science and Culture in Malta. Dr Stefan Aquilina Director of Research, School of Performing Arts Senior Lecturer, Theatre Studies Conference Co-convener 4 The Stanislavsky Research Centre and The S Word The Stanislavsky Research Centre was launched at The University of Leeds, UK, in January 2019. Following on from the work that originated at The Stanislavski Centre (Rose Bruford College), this new centre is a unique international initiative to support and develop both academic and practice-based research centered upon the work and legacy of Konstantin Stanislavsky. Inspired by the work of the late Professor Jean Benedetti, an internationally renowned authority and author of several major books on Stanislavsky’s work, the Centre hosts and promotes a series of lectures, workshops, study days, short courses, exhibitions and other events throughout the year, and offers support to researchers and research students. The S Word: Stanislavski and the Contemporary Theatre is a major collaborative international research project which, from Spring 2019, has been based at London South Bank University. Created by Bella Merlin and Paul Fryer, it was launched with a symposium on Stanislavski and the Future of Acting, in Spring 2016. A collaboration with The University of California Riverside, over 100 scholars and practitioners attended the event which was held at Rose Bruford College, UK. The second symposium, The S Word: Merging Methodologies, a collaboration with DAMU Theatre Academy, was held in Prague in March 2017. In April 2018, the third symposium, A Practical Acting Laboratory, was hosted by The University of California, Riverside. The S Word is a collaboration between a number of institutions. Each partner supports and promotes the project’s work and hosts symposia and other related events. The partners are London South Bank University, The University of California Riverside, DAMU Theatre Academy Prague, The University of Malta, Macunaima Theatre School (Sao Paulo, Brazil), The University of Leeds and The Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts. This year we are delighted to be the guests of the Department of Theatre Studies at the University of Malta and I would like to particularly thank our colleagues here in the beautiful historic city of Valletta for hosting this event, and for the tremendous support that they have given us. In particular, my co-convener Dr Stefan Aquilina, without whose tireless efforts, this event could not have taken place. Details of our next symposium can be found in the back of this programme, and we are currently planning future events in the UK, USA and Australia.

    STAGE VIOLENCE, POWER AND THE DIRECTOR AN EXAMINATION OF THE THEORY AND PRACTICE OF CRUELTY FROM ANTONIN ARTAUD TO SARAH KANE by Jordan Matthew Walsh Bachelor of Philosophy, University of Pittsburgh, 2012 Submitted to the Faculty of the University of Pittsburgh in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Philosophy. The University of Pittsburgh May 2012 UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH ARTS & SCIENCES This thesis was presented by Jordan Matthew Walsh It was defended on April 13th, 2012 and approved by Jesse Berger, Artistic Director, Red Bull Theater Company Cynthia Croot, Assistant Professor, Theatre Arts Department Annmarie Duggan, Assistant Professor, Theatre Arts Department Dr. Lisa Jackson-Schebetta, Assistant Professor, Theatre Arts Department 2 Copyright © by Jordan Matthew Walsh 2012 3 STAGE VIOLENCE AND POWER: AN EXAMINATION OF THE THEORY AND PRACTICE OF CRUELTY FROM ANTONIN ARTAUD TO SARAH KANE Jordan Matthew Walsh, BPhil University of Pittsburgh, 2012 This exploration of stage violence is aimed at grappling with the moral, theoretical and practical difficulties of staging acts of extreme violence on stage and, consequently, with the impact that these representations have on actors and audience. My hypothesis is as follows: an act of violence enacted on stage and viewed by an audience can act as a catalyst for the coming together of that audience in defense of humanity, a togetherness in the act of defying the truth mimicked by the theatrical violence represented on stage, which has the potential to stir the latent power of the theatre communion. I have used the theoretical work of Antonin Artaud, especially his “Theatre of Cruelty,” and the works of Peter Brook, Jerzy Grotowski, and Sarah Kane in conversation with Artaud’s theories as a prism through which to investigate my hypothesis.

  • Media Information New University of the Arts London Campus Central Saint Martins at King’S Cross
    Media Information © 2011 New University of the Arts London Campus Central Saint Martins at King’s Cross Project Description October 2011 To the north of King’s Cross and St Pancras International railway stations, 67-acres of derelict land are being transformed in what is one of Europe’s largest urban regeneration projects. The result will be a vibrant mixed-use quarter, at the physical and creative heart of which will be the new University of the Arts London campus, home of Central Saint Martins College of Arts and Design. Stanton Williams’ design for the £200m new campus unites the college’s activities under one roof for the first time. It provides Central Saint Martins with a substantial new building, connected at its southern end to the Granary Building, a rugged survivor of the area’s industrial past. The result is a state-of-the-art facility that not only functions as a practical solution to the college’s needs but also aims to stimulate creativity, dialogue and student collaboration. A stage for transformation, a framework of flexible spaces that can be orchestrated and transformed over time by staff and students where new interactions and interventions, chance and experimentation can create that slip-steam between disciplines, enhancing the student experience. The coming together of all the schools of Central Saint Martins will open up that potential. The design aims to maximise the connections between departments within the building, with student and material movement being considered 3-dimensionally, as a flow diagram North to South, East to West, and up and down – similar in many ways to how the grain was distributed around the site using wagons and turntables.

  • The Seven Ages of Musical Theatre: the Life Cycle of the Child Performer
    UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON The Seven Ages of Musical Theatre: The life cycle of the child performer by Lyndsay Barnbrook A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Humanities Faculty School of Music April 2016 \A person's a person, no matter how small." Dr. Seuss UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON Abstract Humanities Faculty School of Music Doctor of Philosophy The Seven Ages of Musical Theatre: The life cycle of the child performer by Lyndsay Barnbrook The purpose of the research reported here is to explore the part played by children in musical theatre. It aims to do this on two levels. It presents, for the first time, an historical analysis of involvement of children in theatre from its earliest beginnings to the current date. It is clear from this analysis that the role children played in the evolution of theatre has been both substantial and influential, with evidence of a number of recurring themes. Children have invariably made strong contributions in terms of music, dance and spectacle, and have been especially prominent in musical comedy. Playwrights have exploited precocity for comedic purposes, innocence to deliver difficult political messages in a way that is deemed acceptable by theatre audiences, and youth, recognising the emotional leverage to be obtained by appealing to more primitive instincts, notably sentimentality and, more contentiously, prurience. Every age has had its child prodigies and it is they who tend to make the headlines. However the influence of educators and entrepreneurs, artistically and commercially, is often underestimated. Although figures such as Wescott, Henslowe and Harris have been recognised by historians, some of the more recent architects of musical theatre, like Noreen Bush, are largely unheard of outside the theatre community.

    CULTURAL EXCHANGE: THE ROLE OF STANISLAVSKY AND THE MOSCOW ART THEATRE’S 1923 AND1924 AMERICAN TOURS Cassandra M. Brooks, B.A. Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 2014 APPROVED: Olga Velikanova, Major Professor Richard Golden, Committee Member Guy Chet, Committee Member Richard B. McCaslin, Chair of the Department of History Mark Wardell, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Brooks, Cassandra M. Cultural Exchange: The Role of Stanislavsky and the Moscow Art Theatre’s 1923 and 1924 American Tours. Master of Arts (History), August 2014, 105 pp., bibliography, 43 titles. The following is a historical analysis on the Moscow Art Theatre’s (MAT) tours to the United States in 1923 and 1924, and the developments and changes that occurred in Russian and American theatre cultures as a result of those visits. Konstantin Stanislavsky, the MAT’s co-founder and director, developed the System as a new tool used to help train actors—it provided techniques employed to develop their craft and get into character. This would drastically change modern acting in Russia, the United States and throughout the world. The MAT’s first (January 2, 1923 – June 7, 1923) and second (November 23, 1923 – May 24, 1924) tours provided a vehicle for the transmission of the System. In addition, the tour itself impacted the culture of the countries involved. Thus far, the implications of the 1923 and 1924 tours have been ignored by the historians, and have mostly been briefly discussed by the theatre professionals. This thesis fills the gap in historical knowledge.

  • A Proposal for an Integrated Rehearsal Methodology for Shakespeare (And Others) Combining Active Analysis and Viewpoints
    “UNPACK MY HEART WITH WORDS”: A Proposal for an Integrated Rehearsal Methodology for Shakespeare (and Others) Combining Active Analysis and Viewpoints by GERALD P. SKELTON, JR. BSc, MFA, MA A practice-based thesis submitted to the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences of Kingston University in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy September 2016 I hereby declare that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Gerald P. Skelton, Jr. ABSTRACT The performance of Shakespeare represents a distinct challenge for actors versed in the naturalistic approach to acting as influenced by Stanislavsky. As John Barton suggests, this tradition is not readily compatible with the language-based tradition of Elizabethan players. He states that playing Shakespeare constitutes a collision of “the Two Traditions” (1984, p. 3). The current training-based literature provides many guidelines on analysing and speaking dramatic verse by Shakespeare and others, but few texts include practical ways for contemporary performers to embrace both traditions specifically in a rehearsal context. This research seeks to develop a new actor-centred rehearsal methodology to help modern theatre artists create performances that balance the spontaneity and psychological insight that can be gained from a Stanislavsky-based approach with the textual clarity necessary for Shakespearean drama, and a physical rigour which, I will argue, helps root the voice within the body. The thesis establishes what practitioner Patsy Rodenburg (2005, p. 3) refers to as the need for words, or the impulse to respond to events primarily through language, as the key challenge that contemporary performers steeped in textual naturalism confront when approaching Shakespeare and other classical playwrights.

  • Lloyd Richards in Rehearsal
    Lloyd Richards in Rehearsal by Everett C. Dixon A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy, Graduate Program in Theatre Studies, York University, Toronto, Ontario September 2013 © Everett Dixon, September 2013 Abstract This dissertation analyzes the rehearsal process of Caribbean-Canadian-American director Lloyd Richards (1919-2006), drawing on fifty original interviews conducted with Richards' artistic colleagues from all periods of his directing career, as well as on archival materials such as video-recordings, print and recorded interviews, performance reviews and unpublished letters and workshop notes. In order to frame this analysis, the dissertation will use Russian directing concepts of character, event and action to show how African American theatre traditions can be reformulated as directing strategies, thus suggesting the existence of a particularly African American directing methodology. The main analytical tool of the dissertation will be Stanislavsky's concept of "super-super­ objective," translated here as "larger thematic action," understood as an aesthetic ideal formulated as a call to action. The ultimate goal of the dissertation will be to come to an approximate formulation of Richards' "larger thematic action." Some of the artists interviewed are: Michael Schultz, Douglas Turner Ward, Woodie King, Jr., Dwight Andrews, Stephen Henderson, Thomas Richards, Scott Richards, James Earl Jones, Charles S. Dutton, Courtney B. Vance, Michele Shay, Ella Joyce, and others. Keywords: action, black aesthetics, black theatre movement, character, Dutton (Charles S.), event, Hansberry (Lorraine), Henderson (Stephen M.), Molette (Carlton W. and Barbara J.), Richards (Lloyd), Richards (Scott), Richards (Thomas), Jones (James Earl), Joyce (Ella), Vance (Courtney ii B.), Schultz (Michael), Shay (Michele), Stanislavsky (Konstantin), super-objective, theatre, Ward (Douglas Turner), Wilson (August).
