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 Eisenstein on the Audiovisual by : Robert Robertson
Download or read book Eisenstein on the Audiovisual written by Robert Robertson and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2011-03-24 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The pioneering film director and theorist Sergei Eisenstein is known for the unequalled impact his films have had on the development of cinema. Less is known about his remarkable and extensive writings, which present a continent of ideas about film. Robert Robertson presents a lucid and engaging introduction to a key area of Eisenstein's thought: his ideas about the audiovisual in cinema, which are more pertinent today than ever before. With the advent of digital technology, music and sound now act as independent variables combined with the visual medium to produce a truly audiovisual result. Eisenstein explored in his writings this complex, exciting subject with more depth and originality than any other practitioner, and this is an accessible and original exploration of his ideas. Winner of the Kraszna Krausz Foundation's And/Or Award for Best Moving Image Book of 2009, "Eisenstein on the Audiovisual" is essential reading for students and practitioners of the audiovisual in cinema and related audiovisual forms, including theatre, opera, dance and multimedia.

Book Synopsis Wonderlands of the Avant-Garde by : Julia Vaingurt
Download or read book Wonderlands of the Avant-Garde written by Julia Vaingurt and published by Northwestern University Press. This book was released on 2013-05-31 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In postrevolutionary Russia, as the Soviet government was initiating a program of rapid industrialization, avant-garde artists declared their intent to serve the nascent state and to transform life in accordance with their aesthetic designs. In spite of their professed utilitarianism, however, most avant-gardists created works that can hardly be regarded as practical instruments of societal transformation. Exploring this paradox, Vaingurt claims that the artists’ investment of technology with aesthetics prevented their creations from being fully conscripted into the arsenal of political hegemony. The purposes of avant-garde technologies, she contends, are contemplative rather than constructive. Looking at Meyerhold’s theater, Tatlin’s and Khlebnikov’s architectural designs, Mayakovsky’s writings, and other works from the period, Vaingurt offers an innovative reading of an exceptionally complex moment in the formation of Soviet culture.
Book Synopsis Historical Dictionary of Russian Theatre by : Laurence Senelick
Download or read book Historical Dictionary of Russian Theatre written by Laurence Senelick and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2015-08-13 with total page 693 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A latecomer continually hampered by government control and interference, the Russian theatre seems an unlikely source of innovation and creativity. Yet, by the middle of the nineteenth century, it had given rise to a number of outstanding playwrights and actors, and by the start of the twentieth century, it was in the vanguard of progressive thinking in the realms of directing and design. Its influence throughout the world was pervasive: Nikolai Gogol', Anton Chekhov and Maksim Gor'kii remain staples of repertories in every language, the ideas of Konstantin Stanislavskii, Vsevolod Meierkhol'd and Mikhail Chekhov continue to inspire actors and directors, while designers still draw on the graphics of the World of Art group and the Constructivists. What distinguishes Russian theater from almost any other is the way in which these achievements evolved and survived in ongoing conflict or cooperation with the State. This second edition of Historical Dictionary of Russian Theatre covers the history through a chronology, an introductory essay, appendixes, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 1000 cross-referenced entries on individual actors, directors, designers, entrepreneurs, plays, playhouses and institutions, Censorship, Children’s Theater, Émigré Theater, and Shakespeare in Russia. This book is an excellent access point for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Russian Theatre.

Book Synopsis The Great European Stage Directors Volume 2 by : David Barnett

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume surveys and assesses the contributions of Vsevolod Meyerhold, Erwin Piscator and Bertolt Brecht to theatre-making, which richly exemplify the range of ways that directors address dramatic material, theatrical space and their audiences. Their directorial work marks an unmistakeable interest in developing the political potential of theatre in the early 20th century, although each director offered more to their actors, collaborators and spectators than simply the staging of politics and the political.
Book Synopsis A History of the Theatre Laboratory by : Bryan Brown
Download or read book A History of the Theatre Laboratory written by Bryan Brown and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-10-26 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The term ‘theatre laboratory’ has entered the regular lexicon of theatre artists, producers, scholars and critics alike, yet use of the term is far from unified, often operating as an catch-all for a web of intertwining practices, territories, pedagogies and ideologies. Russian theatre, however, has seen a clear emergence of laboratory practice that can be divided into two distinct organisational structures: the studio and the masterskaya (artisanal guild). By assessing these structures, Bryan Brown offers two archetypes of group organisation that can be applied across the arts and sciences, and reveals a complex history of the laboratory’s characteristics and functions that support the term’s use in theatre. This book’s discursive, historical approach has been informed substantially by contemporary practice, through interviews with and examinations of practitioners including Slava Polunin, Anatoli Vassiliev, Sergei Zhenovach and Dmitry Krymov.

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.
