What did modern theatre in Russia look like and how did it
foreground tradition building and transmission processes? The book
challenges conventional historiographical approaches by weaving
contemporary theories on cultural transmission into its historical
narrative. It argues that processes of transmission - training
spaces, acting manuals, photographic evidence, newspaper reports,
international networking, informal encounters, cultural memories -
contribute to the formation and consolidation of theatre
traditions. Through English translations of rare Russian sources,
the book expounds on: *side-lined material on Stanislavsky,
including his relationship with German actor Ludwig Barnay, use of
improvisation at the First Studio, and rehearsal practices for
Artists and Admirers (1933); *Valentin Smyshlaev's acting manual
The Technique to Process Stage Performance and the creation of
hybrid practices; *proletarian theatre as an amateur-professional
combination and force in the transformation of everyday life, as
seen in the Proletkult's volume Art at the Workers' Clubs;
*Meyerhold's Borodin Studio as an early example of Practice as
Research, his European tour of 1930, and international persona as
depicted in newspapers published in the West; and *Asja Lacis's
work with children, which contributes to current efforts to address
the gender imbalance that is often characteristic of modernism.
This historical-theoretical investigation is combined with
practical exercises that provide a more experiential understanding
of the modern performance realities involved. In this way, the book
speaks not only to theatre scholars and historians, but also to
students and practitioners engaged in practical work.
