Opis

Routledge Performance Practitioners is a series of introductory guides to the key theatre-makers of the last century. Each volume explains the background to and the work of one of the major influences on twentieth and twenty-first-century performance. These compact and clearly written books will unravel the contributions of modern theatre's most charismatic innovators. Yevgeny Vakhtangov was a pioneering theatre artist who married Stanislavsky's demands for inner truth and sincerity with a quest for an imaginative form for every role and production. This is the first book to combine: an overview of Vakhtangov's life, work and influences; an exploration of his key ideas, including the concept of Fantastic Realism; accounts of his key productions, methods and training practices; and, exercises developed by Vakhtangov and still taught at the Vakhtangov Institute in Moscow.
