Meyerhold, Eisenstein and Biomechanics: Actor Training in Revolutionary Russia

Russian theater director Vsevolod Meyerhold designed Biomechanics-a system of actor training-shortly after the Russian Revolution. One of Meyerhold's students was the great Russian film director Sergei Eisenstein. Gathered from private Moscow archives, this is the first book-length study of Meyerhold's stylized training method in practical detail, as well as Eisenstein's theoretical analysis of Biomechanics.
