The Russian approach to drama is a unique practice. It can best be described as the fundamental block of contemporary Dramatic Arts. The new concept of theater that emerged in Russia in the beginning of 20th century was expressed in the productions and theoretical works of Konstantin Stanislavski, Evgeni Vakhtangov, Michael Chekhov, Vsevolod Meyerhold, Alexander Tairoff and others in the 1920s and ‘30s. They laid the foundation for further development of the Dramatic Arts, leaving a notable imprint on World Theater.
Today it seems that every great actor has been influenced by either the «Stanislavski Method» or the «Chekhov Technique». In modern Russia, the traditions of these founding fathers have been passed on from generation to generation with great care. These traditions are alive today in the best productions, the best performances, and in the teaching techniques of the best drama schools in the world.
