Meyerhold, Eisenstein and Biomechanics: Actor Training in Revolutionary Russia

Fascinating

If you really want to attempt to understand Biomechanics, you must read this book. I studied "Meyerhold and Biomechanics" for a month at GITIS in Moscow, and this book acts as a summery to that course. It discusses the formulation and fundamentals Meyerhold used in creating his Actor training system. I only give it 4 stars due to the fact that the exercises are clearly listed, but hard to reproduce from this book. The exerices lists seem to be written to only as a recorded, a much-needed documentation, but a 'list' none the less. Overall, it truly is a great, great essential book.
