Stanislavsky and Place offers a new approach to actor training and theatrical direction by investigating Stanislavsky's question to his actors of "e;Where?"e; the action that they perform (and what preceded it) took place.This book explores how place functions beyond mere location in theatrical practice, addressing politics, colonialism, conflict and resistance through the lens of Stanislavsky's work. Featuring contributions from leading scholars Jonathan Pitches and Bella Merlin alongside diverse practitioners, the collection examines multiple dimensions of place-based performance. Essays analyse an Australian production of Ibsen's Enemy of the People addressing environmental concerns; perspectives from Australian First Nations and Settler-descent artists; Russian concepts of place that shaped Stanislavsky's approach; and the groundbreaking site-specific Vanya Project that incorporated local environments and embodied responses. The book also investigates how actors and mise-en-scene become emplaced, while examining concepts of displacement in multimedia performances that position character-actors simultaneously in multiple locations, particularly in modernist narratives like Kafka's. Throughout these varied contributions, place emerges as a richly ambiguous and often contested tool for understanding theatrical experience, offering fresh perspectives on Stanislavsky's enduring influence on contemporary performance practice.Stanislavsky And... 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.

Considering the constitution of the living, moving body in terms of performance, Charcot created a situation whereby the line between deceptive acting and real pathology, scientific accuracy and creative falsehood, and indeed between health and unhealth, becomes blurred.

This text provides a study of Jean-Martin Charcot, a founding figure in the history of neurology as a discipline and a colleague of Sigmund Freud. It argues that Charcot’s diagnostic and pedagogic models, explaining both how disease is recognized and described and how to teach the act of neurological diagnosis, should be considered through a theatrical lens. Considering the constitution of the living, moving body in terms of performance, Charcot created a situation whereby the line between deceptive acting and real pathology, scientific accuracy and creative falsehood, and indeed between health and unhealth, becomes blurred. The physician becomes a medical subject in his or her own display, transforming medicine into a potentially destabilizing, even grand guignolesque, discourse. Offering a unique insight into Charcot’s work, his concepts and his methods, this text represents a unique and interdisciplinary analysis cutting across the fields of art and neurology.

In Butoh and Suzuki Performance in Australia: Bent Legs on Strange Grounds, 1982-2023, Marshall considers how the originally Japanese forms of butoh dance and Suzuki’s theatre reconfigure historical lineages to find ancient yet transcultural ancestors within Australia and beyond. Marshall argues that artists working in Australia with butoh and Suzuki techniques develop conflicted yet compelling diasporic, multicultural, spiritually and corporeally compelling interpretations of theatrical practice. Marshall puts at the centre of butoh historiography the work of Tess de Quincey, Yumi Umiumare, Tony Yap, Lynne Bradley, Simon Woods, Frances Barbe, and Australian Suzuki practitioners Jacqui Carroll and John Nobbs.Jonathan W. Marshall’s Bent Legs on Strange Grounds is an important contribution to the body of literature on butoh, as well as to studies of dance in Australia that will be valuable to practitioners and scholars alike. Detailed discussions of Australian butoh artists open up consideration of how global and local histories, migrations, and landscapes not only were key to butoh’s formation in Japan, but also to its continued development around the world. Attention to butoh’s emplacement in Australia, Marshall convincingly argues, reveals insights about national identity, race, power, and more that are relevant well beyond the Australian performance context.— Rosemary Candelario, Texas Woman’s University, co-editor, Routledge Companion to Butoh Performance (2018)Marshall’s Bent Legs on Strange Grounds explores the remarkable transformative era of Australia’s reconsideration of its place in the region. A definitive study of Australian experiments in butoh and the theatrical vision of Suzuki Tadashi, the book shows how new corporeal and spatial dramaturgies of the Japanese avant-garde fundamentally changed Australian performance. Expansively researched and annotated, this impressive study connects Australian performance after the New Wave with globalization, postmodern dance, Indigeneity, and subcultures, and it details the work of leading Australian/Asian artists. Bent Legs on Strange Grounds speaks about the development of embodied knowledge and the consequential refiguration of Australia’s sense of being in the world. It is also a study of butoh and Suzuki’s legacy in global terms, wherein Australian experimental performance also becomes something larger than itself.— Peter Eckersall, The Graduate Center, CUNY, author of Performativity and Event in 1960s Japan (2013).
