Meyerhold


The main idea is of the passive and active performers. He also aranged movemt into three stages:
  1. Preparation - Otkaz - I
  2. Action - posil- ras
  3. end point - tochka - do
The aim of the training was presishion, balance, coordination, effushancy, expressiveness and responceiveness. In class we minimised the script to allow us to create still sculpters that move based on te rythem of the active person. The creator was Russian who joined a German school and was influenced by fordism and cominist beliefes. In his works he uses biomachanics where you make people into high effishant machines to get the greatest responce. He got executed because his works became very popular and the ruler feared that the audience would be changed into radical thinkers. The russian dictator also thought that he was underminding cominism and also that he was trying to kill the leader.
There is a strong link to Gardinez with the use of rythem though not mutualiy agred on by performers.
