November 29, 2017
All Day
Faculty Club, ABCD Rooms (2nd Floor)

Time: 5-5:30 p.m.
Event Host: College of Arts and Sciences
Short Description: The Stanislavsky System, which has been practiced in the U.S. for over 80 years, is wrapped in the lore of facts and legends, conflicting teaching approaches, failures and international acting successes. In fact, it mirrors the path of its development. In professor Ignatieva's presentation, she will talk about female actors who have contributed to every single stage of the System from Stanislavsky’s first experiments until his death as muses, reluctant followers, saboteurs, faithful colleagues and devotees.
