Meyerhold and the Creation of the Stage Score

Abstract

The article is devoted to the problem of creating and noting of the stage score of a play as it was understood by Vsevolod Meyerhold. The creative work of the great Russian director is considered within the context of the historical process of forming ideas about the integral structure of the text of a play on stage and in the context of the development of methods for fixing the creative idea and noting of the actual text of a live performance as a theatre event. The article analyzes the activities of the scientific research laboratory (NIL) of the Meyerhold Theatre in the 1930s, where a method of creative work on the fixation of the stage scores was developed intensively, and also reveals the role of this type of activity in the preservation and study of theatre heritage.

Keywords

Stage score of the performance, fixation (noting) of the stage action, production documentation, structure of the performance, Russian Theatre, Soviet Theatre, Vsevolod Meyerhold, Leonid Varpakhovsky, scientific research laboratory of State Meyerhold Theatre (GosTIM).
