| Reference: Plastic movement Reference information: 182 SOVIET THEATERS The lessons were usually about a half hour in each subject for each student, two or three times weekly, depending on the number of students. Lessons in plastic movement, dancing, gymnastics, and make-up were given in large classes and in small groups or "brigades," so that the instructor could keep an eye on each student. http://shortify.com/9972 Meyerhold believed that “the ground of all human art is bodily motion” and that humanity expresses spiritual emotions by using “plastic movement” (Leach 61). http://shortify.com/9973 -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs (2010-03-04 11:57:20 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Meyerhold, a renowned actor and director with the Moscow Art Theatre, regarded movement, gesture, space and rhythm, as the primary elements of the 'language of theatre.' He dreamed of retheatricalizing the theatre, of creating a theatre that would give its audience truthful images of life but that wouldn't seek to imitate or copy life, a theatre capable of revealing 'inner dialogue by means of the music of plastic movement.' Meyerhold's work over three decades resulted in his system of Theatrical Biomechanics. http://www.outofinc.co.uk/biomechanics.html Nikolais was influenced by the meta-physical forms of the Bauhaus designer Oskar Schlemmer, but while Schlemmer’s constructivist Triadic Ballet, conceived in 1912 but not premiered till 1922, sought to turn shapes into bodies, that is, to use dancers to animate static geometric designs, Nikolais sought to turn bodies into morphic shapes, whereby plastic movement was defined by the physical capacity of the dancers but was not expressive of the human form http://www.clancy.uk.com/cdw/cdwhist6.html -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs (2010-03-04 11:58:57 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- We find as much in our contemporary church service - a descendent of classical mystical ritual - on a smaller scale, the idea of uniting the arts is preserved. Don’t we find there music (singing, sounds of bells), plastic movement (kneeling, ritual of priests action), play of smells (incense), play of lights (candles, lights), painting? All arts are united here in one harmonious whole, to attain one goal, religious exaltation. http://blackboard.lincoln.ac.uk/bbcswebdav/users/dmeyerdinkg... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 days (2010-03-08 15:56:00 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- plastic 3.
