Editorial [Stanislavski Studies, 12(1)]

Abstract

This May 2024 issue of Stanislavski Studies sources a lot of its contributions from The S Word symposium that was hosted by the Department of Theatre Studies of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens between the 9 and 11 November 2023. It was another stimulating meeting of Stanislavsky scholars, historians, teachers, and practitioners, with the event being organized by our own Dr Michaela Antoniou, Associate Editor of this journal. Like past editions of the symposium, the meeting in Athens featured a full programme of keynote lectures, book launches, presentations, and workshops, and I was excited to see in front of my eyes how the field is developing thanks to the internationalization efforts that were started by Paul Fryer and Bella Merlin when they first conceived the symposium way back in 2015.
