Summary: In this article, the author discusses the connection between the Russian acting and directing tradition and the Greek theater, which was introduced through the Experimental Stage and the Acting and Directing Workshop of the National Theatre of Greece. These endeavors, initiated and led by Stathis Livathinos, provided actors and aspiring directors with exposure to Stanislavsky's ideas and teaching as well as the recent developments in Russian directing and acting tradition. The Experimental Stage produced a number of productions during its three-year run, while the Workshop contributed to the establishment of the National Theatre School of Directing in 2018.

Summary: This article examines eyewitness accounts of Stanislavsky's late practice from the perspective of cognitive science. The findings from cognitive neuroscience provide theoretical explanations for the mental and emotional phenomena resulting from physical actions, as described by Vasili Toporkov and Maria Knebel. The article suggests that Active Analysis, a technique used by Stanislavsky, stimulates these responses in a way that can be better understood using cognitive science.

Summary: This essay calls for the field of applied theatre to expand its critical perspective and examine how whiteness influences institutional homes, scholarship, and creative practice. Using Sara Ahmed's (2012) concept of 'institutional life', the essay analyzes the author's experience at the predominantly white University of Missouri, where they directed a critical performance effort called The Revolutionists Project. Throughout the essay, the author demonstrates how whiteness obstructed discussions about racism and institutional life, shaping the design of the performance project.

Summary: Renaissance clothes and plays emphasized variety and piecemeal assemblages. However, the Shakespeare First Folio constructed a uniform image for marketing purposes, which does not accurately represent the reality of early modern play production. This essay examines the relationship between early performances and posthumous print by analyzing the Folio text of The Life of Henry the Fift, shedding light on the complexity of this relationship.
