vsevolod meyerhold Actor Theatre Director Creator of biomechanics stanislavsky’s apprentice Body movements - a system created for directing theatreAs opposed to Stanislavsky, Meyerhold was usually indifferent to the psychological side of acting, but he was fascinated by its visual side. He made the actors work on body movements, not on character study, and assured them that “buffoonery and clowning are necessary for an actor, and the simplest simplicity should include the elements of the clown”. His performances resembled marionette theater shows.
