Методология «действенного анализа» и наследие ленинградской театральной школы: Третьи «Кнебелевские чтения»

Abstract

The article provides an overview of the annual scientific conference “Knebel Readings”. In 2022, dedicated to the Leningrad Theatre School, its methodology and educational process. The origins of stage methodology are set in the directorial and pedagogical work of K. S. Stanislavsky, V. I. Nemirovich-Danchenko, E. B. Vakhtangov, V. E. Meyerhold, in the legacy of A.D. Popov and G.A. Tovstonogov. M.O. Knebel largely determined the theoretical and pedagogical ways of developing the methodology of the Russian theatre school in the second half of the 20th century. The work of directors and theatre-teachers of Leningrad in the 50s – 80s of the last century (B.V. Zon, Z.J. Korogodsky, G.A. Tovstonogov, A. I. Katsman and others) formed the basis of an outstanding phenomenon in the history of the Russian theatre – the Leningrad theatre school, which is still existing and developing in St. Petersburg. The report of V.M. Filshtinsky focuses on his personal understanding of the theoretical heritage of Stanislavsky–Nemirovich–Knebel, with whom he conducts a research dialogue in his new book. N.A. Kolotova, in her speech, made an analysis of methodological principles of teaching an actor by B.V. Zon (along with a historical report of his pedagogy formation). V.A. Bogatyrev shared his personal memories of his learning in the group of Z.J. Korogodsky and outlined the methods of his master, which continued and developed the methodological system of B.V. Zon. During the conference, a topical discussion took place. It was initiated by A. A. Barmak. The disturbing, from his point of view, methodological context of modern conceptual theatre, built by young directors and a new generation of theatre teachers, requires an appeal to the origins of the method of effective analysis, as well as a careful study of Russian theatre education. At the end of the conference, a review of the literary heritage of the Leningrad theatre school was made.
