A ceaseless experimenter with new forms and techniques and the leader of an aesthetic revolution, he left no body of theoretical writings. What takes their place are the reminiscences and confessions made in conversations with pupils and friends, some of which were recorded by Aleksandr Gladkov during his years of close association with Meyerhold. This book aims to capture the essence of Meyerhold's personality and temperament as revealed in the director's own informal comments about his rich, varied experiences. His notes, made at rehersals, present Meyerhold in action.
Book Synopsis Meyerhold Speaks, Meyerhold Rehearses by : Aleksandr Konstantinovich Gladkov
Download or read book Meyerhold Speaks, Meyerhold Rehearses written by Aleksandr Konstantinovich Gladkov and published by Harwood Academic Publishers. This book was released on 1997 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Meyerhold's productions were an encyclopedia of theatrical history, incorporating everything from circus tricks to highly stylized elements of the Kabuki theatre. In the twenties and thirties Meyerhold's theatre became a mecca for those seeking new theatrical ideas. There was hardly a figure of importance in the theatre at that time who did not come to Moscow to see his work. And many, including Brecht, stayed on to study. Unlike Stanislavsky, Meyerhold was not a theoretician. He left behind no large body of theoretical writings summing up his many years of experience in the theatre. What do remain and must take the place of both Meyerhold's theoretical writings and his memoirs are the reminiscences and confessions made in conversations with pupils and friends. Of course, some of the most valuable are those recorded by Aleksandr Gladkov during his years of close association with Meyerhold. A talented essayist and "keen" observer, Gladkov has succeeded in capturing the essence of Meyerhold's personality and temperament as revealed in the director's own informal comments about his rich and varied experiences in the theatre. His notes made at rehearsals present the living Meyerhold in action: complex, demanding, sometimes grossly unfair in his treatment of others, but never dull or indifferent. Included in the book is a biographical introduction by Alma Law, the translator and editor, followed by Gladkov's own account of his association with Meyerhold. Dr. Law has also added commentary to Meyerhold's observations based on many hours on interviews with Gladkov in Moscow during the 1970s.

Book Synopsis Russian Theatre in Practice by : Amy Skinner
Download or read book Russian Theatre in Practice written by Amy Skinner and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2019-04-18 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Amidst the turmoil of political revolution, the stage directors of twentieth-century Russia rewrote the rules of theatre making. From realism to the avant-garde, politics to postmodernism, and revolution to repression, these practitioners shaped perceptions of theatre direction across the world. This edited volume introduces students and practitioners alike to the innovations of Russia's directors, from Konstantin Stanislavsky and Vsevolod Meyerhold to Anatoly Efros, Oleg Efremov and Genrietta Ianovskaia. Strongly practical in its approach, Russian Theatre in Practice: The Director's Guide equips readers with an understanding of the varying approaches of each director, as well as the opportunity to participate and explore their ideas in practice. The full range of the director's role is covered, including work on text, rehearsal technique, space and proxemics, audience theory and characterization. Each chapter focuses on one director, exploring their historical context, and combining an examination of their directing theory and technique with practical exercises for use in classroom or rehearsal settings. Through their ground-breaking ideas and techniques, Russia's directors still demand our attention, and in this volume they come to life as a powerful resource for today's theatre makers.

Book Synopsis The Routledge Companion to Vsevolod Meyerhold by : Jonathan Pitches
Download or read book The Routledge Companion to Vsevolod Meyerhold written by Jonathan Pitches and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-11-09 with total page 681 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Routledge Companion to Vsevolod Meyerhold brings together a wealth of scholarship on one of the foremost innovators in European theatre. It presents a detailed picture of the Russian director’s work from when it first emerged on the modern stage to its multifarious present-day manifestations. By combining an historical focus with the latest contemporary research from an international range of perspectives and authors, this collection marks an important moment in Meyerhold studies as well as offering a new assessment of his relation to today's theatre-making. Its dynamic blend of research is presented in five sections: Histories enlarges on more conventional subjects like the grotesque and Biomechanics, to overlooked topics such as Meyerhold's ‘failed’ projects and his work in film; Collaborations and Connections extends understandings of Meyerhold’s well-known collaborative capacities to consider new cultural influences and lesser known working relationships; Sources engages with hitherto untapped material in Meyerhold’s oeuvre by reproducing and contextualising previously untranslated primary sources on his work; Practitioner Voices offer lively, on the ground, testimony of the contemporary impact of Meyerhold's practice; Meyerhold in New Contexts maps the routes of his practice across continents and examines ways in which his work is being applied in a number of contemporary scenarios, such as motion capture, computer-based 3D visualisations, and the ‘new normal’ of digital pedagogy. This is a key resource for students and scholars of European Theatre, acting theory, and actor training, as well as for those more broadly interested in the socio-political impact of theatre.
Book Synopsis The Routledge Companion to Studio Performance Practice by : Franc Chamberlain
Download or read book The Routledge Companion to Studio Performance Practice written by Franc Chamberlain and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-11-29 with total page 832 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Routledge Companion to Studio Performance Practice is a unique, indispensable guide to the training methods of the world’s key theatre practitioners. Compiling the practical work outlined in the popular Routledge Performance Practitioners series of guidebooks, each set of exercises has been edited and contextualised by an expert in that particular approach. Each chapter provides a taster of one practitioner’s work, answering the same key questions: ‘How did this artist work? How can I begin to put my understanding of this to practical use?’ Newly written chapter introductions put the exercises in context, explaining how they fit into the wider methods and philosophy of the practitioner in question. All 21 volumes in the original series are represented in this volume.
Download or read book Meyerhold at Work written by and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2014-12-15 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Not a mirror but a magnifying glass”—such, in the poet Mayakovsky’s words, was the theater of Vsevolod Meyerhold. The first to insist on the primacy of the director’s role, indeed the first to conceive of it as a role, this passionately dedicated Russian director tore down the fourth wall and forced the actors and audience together into one inescapable community of experience. Yet Meyerhold recorded few of his theories in writing, and the intensity and brilliance of his work must be recaptured through the actors and artists who helped create the performances. Focusing on Meyerhold’s postrevolutionary career, Paul Schmidt has assembled in this book journals, letters, reminiscences, and, of special interest, actual rehearsal notes that build a fascinating, intimate picture of Meyerhold as a theorist and as a man. Included are Meyerhold’s frantic notes to his teacher, friend, and bête noire Stanislavsky; detailed descriptions of how he trained his actors in “biomechanics”; and memories by such students as Eisenstein and such friends as Pasternak and Ehrenburg. One chapter deals with Meyerhold’s never-realized conception of Boris Godunov, while another describes his direction of Camille, which starred Zinaida Raikh, his wife, and which played its 725th and last performance on the day Stalin’s government liquidated Meyerhold’s theater. Paul Schmidt’s introduction and headnotes enhance our understanding of Meyerhold as a pioneer of modern theater.
