VSEVOLOD MEYERHOLD'S STAGE METHOD AND ITS APPLICATION IN CIRCUS ART

Abstract

The fate, creativity, artistic heritage of Vsevolod Meyerhold are endlessly attractive. A tireless inventor, a master of stage direction who opened new theatrical horizons, he went a hard way, paving his path in the field of theatrical art, constantly feeling dissatisfaction, the desire for new, more effective means in art. Creating his own theater, his actor, his methodology, he paid with his life for the right of the theater to be a theater. The work of Vsevolod Meyerhold is an exhausting struggle for the right to enter a new stage of one's own freedom. The theater, the leader of which was previously a playwright and actor, has found a new leader – a director. The director became the author of the theater.

Vsevolod Meyerhold with tireless energy in the theatrical space organized by him began to create a complete, exhaustive supply of means for constructing the artistic form of the performance. He found these means in the body of the artist and mise-en-scenes, built the compositions of his performances according to the laws of music. Destroying the aesthetics of naturalistic psychological theater, Vsevolod Meyerhold introduced biomechanics as alienation from psychological truth on stage and as a form of the technology that freed the actor for another non-psychological existence. The name of Meyerhold is associated with the construction of the New Theater, a new, flexible and multifaceted theatrical system that replaced the old, Renaissance system.

The construction of the New Theater is impossible without the idea of ​​a new system of playing in it. And for a new system of play, a new actor is definitely needed, who in it will feel like a fish in water. And such a New actor must be brought up by developing a new acting system of education. These aspects are interconnected and cannot exist without each other. Therefore, Vsevolod Meyerhold developed an avant-garde acting technique – the famous biomechanics, which teaches the artist to organize and control his psychophysical apparatus in the space and time of stage action.
