Stage Directing Theory

Directing Theory: pre-text, text and super-text = playscript + spectacle + public

*** "Director as Thinker" = Artist as Philosopher. Pomo as Genre. Taganka and Lubimov as "Professional Amateur." (No "School" established, as with Peter Brook).

20th century is the space (time) of amateurs...

Including Stanislavsky?

...

"It is essential to put an end to the subjugation of the theatre to the text, and to recover the notion of a kind of unique language half-way between gesture and thought." -Antonin Artaud. "The Theatre and its Double"

notes

In order to work on the concept, I have to be personal -- and to go back to my "PostAmerica" writings... The American Book.

Bad Subjects, Wrong Theories u21.us

"Total Theatre Directing"?

"Total"? It has to be amateur!

Amateur Theatre, amateur art... hello, 3rd millennium.

What is "professional"?

"Author theory"?

Artist as System, unique and "accidental"? Reaction to "Mechanical Age" of replication?

Director is pomo artist. What does he do? Montage of Attractions!

Art of Spectatorship? Book of Spectator.

Director "writes" and "acts" like a spectator, indirectly. But how the arrangement became dominant craft? (As in music?)

Wait! But in hard sciences professionalisation rule, right?

DIRECT eTheatre Intro

2006-2007 PM drama: back to Chekhov, they got scaried of Godot. "Pinter and Mamet" is this step... forward.

Theatre, Film? BOTH. Web!
No, no storyboards. But the difference between "play" and "playscript" is important: script is the blueprints for the show. Virtual Theatre directing is DESIGNING THE SPECTACLE: on stage for live audience... and for the cameras... and for the screen...
I left Beckett (Godot, Spring 2006) confused. Great Play? Or "script"? No more great dramas?
"Director's Theatre" (20th century) is show-based; I myself wrote a few "compositions" (not plays). Away, away from literature? Grotowski and the Idea of Shaman = no to "Theatre" in principle?
Stanislavsky made his "method" based on actor-individual -- and Chekhov became the last dramatic writer...
In theory it all looks understandable.
In practice...
