Vsevolod Meyerhold's Biomechanics

Vsevolod Meyerhold's Biomechanics is a theatrical movement technique that emphasizes the physicality of actors in performance. It involves a series of exercises and principles designed to enhance their movement, posture, and expressiveness. By focusing on the body’s mechanics, actors learn to convey emotions and narratives through precise and dynamic movements. Meyerhold aimed to create a more visually engaging theatre, breaking away from naturalism to emphasize form and rhythm, allowing performers to embody their characters more vividly and effectively on stage. This approach integrates bodily movements with psychological expression, enriching the theatrical experience.
