Hey, thanks for uploading this vid ^.^ I didn't really get what Meyerhold was all about until now ^.^ And good job, that's some heavy work you're doing there :)
it does not look like meyerhold's biomechanics at all :(
people often don't understand his work. If you'd like to be introduced to the art of biomechanics my suggestion is to book workshops with Master Gennadi Bogdanov who has really great knowledge about the subject.
This is really, incredibly, fantasticly random. It extremely little, if not nothing at all to do with theatre. This is just some random movements even a kid could do, it looks dumb, and it is dumb. People fool themselves into believing that this, somehow, is art. This is not art, this is just something one could laugh at if a child did it. When grown up, adults do it, and convince themselves that it's art, it's just sad.
This is one of Meyerhold's etudes, and is not a complete theatre piece. The etudes help performers practice movement, but aren't meant to be put on stage. Anyone who performs an etude and knows the theory behind it isn't likely to think they're creating 'art' because it's not meant to be.
Etudes have a lot to do with theatre. Practising rhythm, agility, precision, balance and strength are essential to an actor's art. If a child could get this right... impressive kid.
@fougneeer Meyerhold created this in the late 1800's in hope to understand the ways of the body. This is not infact a work of art but discipline and conditioning to understand how each part of our body moves. Meyerhold was an antirealist and and began biomechanics to prove Stanislavsky wrong. What they have done in this video is nothing like Meyerholds Biomechanics, the positions you have to hold are extremely uncomfortable and are definitely not as easy as it looks!
Ive been looking up Meyerhold for a Mini Viva assignment, and I have to say this is one is my favourite and Im adding this link into my assignment to send other students here to see it very well performed.
Its really good. Thanks for putting it online so the rest of us students can get a taste of Meyerhold.
Unfortunately, life is not long enough . . . to figure out what internal states of Being these exercises are intended to cultivate . . . by trial and error alone.
Finding instead someone who already knows -- is admittedly very problematical, but probably still the only realistic alternative . . .
Super!
