The University of Iowa Graduate Acting Class present Meyerhold's Biomechanics and Scenes from The Magnanimous Cuckhold Vsevolod Meyeerhold (1874-1940) Russian Director and Innovator Meyerhold began his professional theater career with the Moscow Art Theater in 1898, its first season. But four years later he resigned because of his highly political views concerning Russian society and theater. He went on to become one of the theater's greatest innovators whose constant search for a new and better theater led him through a life time of different styles. This presentation focuses upon the years around 1921-1926. We are directly concerned with the development of Biomechanics and his production of Magnanimous Cuckhold.
