"I'M NOT SO INTERESTED IN HOW THEY MOVE AS IN WHAT MOVES THEM."- PINA BAUSCH

“WE ALMOST CODIFIED OURSELVES OUT OF EXPANSION.”- MARGIE GILLIS (TEACHER, MENTOR, AND FRIEND)

“Meyerhold regarded movement, gesture, space, rhythm and "music" as the primary elements of the "language of the theatre." He dreamed of "retheatricalizing" the theatre, of creating a theatre that would give its audience truthful images of life but that wouldn’t seek to imitate or copy life. A director should, according to Meyerhold, begin his work in rehearsal with the search for form. And this search begins with the creation of a "movement score" for the production. The director’s task is to create "a pattern of movement on the stage" by means of a "deft mastery of line, grouping and costume color" (V. E. Meyerhold quoted in Braun). Movement on the stage is created not only by movement in the literal sense, but by the disposition of lines and colours and by the ease and cunning with which these lines and colours are made to cross and vibrate".
