We were saddened to hear about the death of Jean Benedetti last week. Jean was a world renowned scholar of Russian and Russian Theatre who translated our new editions of Stanislavski’s An Actor’s Work and An Actor’s Work on a Role, and also Stanislavski’s biography My Life in Art. All were acclaimed translations, which brought through Stanislavski’s intent and essence more clearly and directly than the original English-language versions. Professor Benedetti was a honorary patron of The Stanislavski Centre and you can read some of the thoughts and recollections of his friends and colleagues in the link above.

Shannon Jackson presents a range of case studies and contemporary methodologies to examine the fields for performative and visual art studies. The resulting analysis incorporates current political and aesthetic discourses as well as a practical understanding of social practice."
