Description
In this paper, we want to advocate for an historiography of actor training; that is, for an effort to re-imagine & re-embody past practices, & enter them “from a new critical direction” (Rich 18). Only then can we understand the foundations on which our work as trainers is built, & re-vision our training for the post-pandemic world. Drawing on research into the institutionalisation of actor training in Australia between from 1949 onwards, & the specific case study of the establishment of the Flinders Drama Centre, this paper will offer a speculative toolkit & advocate for an historiographically-informed perspective at this critical juncture for re-imagining Australian actor training
