  • The Role of Stanislavsky and the Moscow Art Theatre's 1923 And
    CULTURAL EXCHANGE: THE ROLE OF STANISLAVSKY AND THE MOSCOW ART THEATRE’S 1923 AND1924 AMERICAN TOURS Cassandra M. Brooks, B.A. Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 2014 APPROVED: Olga Velikanova, Major Professor Richard Golden, Committee Member Guy Chet, Committee Member Richard B. McCaslin, Chair of the Department of History Mark Wardell, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Brooks, Cassandra M. Cultural Exchange: The Role of Stanislavsky and the Moscow Art Theatre’s 1923 and 1924 American Tours. Master of Arts (History), August 2014, 105 pp., bibliography, 43 titles. The following is a historical analysis on the Moscow Art Theatre’s (MAT) tours to the United States in 1923 and 1924, and the developments and changes that occurred in Russian and American theatre cultures as a result of those visits. Konstantin Stanislavsky, the MAT’s co-founder and director, developed the System as a new tool used to help train actors—it provided techniques employed to develop their craft and get into character. This would drastically change modern acting in Russia, the United States and throughout the world. The MAT’s first (January 2, 1923 – June 7, 1923) and second (November 23, 1923 – May 24, 1924) tours provided a vehicle for the transmission of the System. In addition, the tour itself impacted the culture of the countries involved. Thus far, the implications of the 1923 and 1924 tours have been ignored by the historians, and have mostly been briefly discussed by the theatre professionals. This thesis fills the gap in historical knowledge.

  • Ostrovsky's Experience of the Creation of the European Theatrical Canon
    Olga Kuptsova Ostrovsky’s Experience of the Creation of the European Theatrical Canon and Russian Stage Practice Personal Preferences and General Trends Alexander Ostrovsky’s dramatic heritage has been primarily regarded as ‘slice- of-life’ plays in the Russian historico-theatrical tradition, due to the detailed descriptions of everyday life and sociopsychological characters/types it represents. The very first (and until recently the only monographic) study of Ostrovsky in a west European language was Ostrovski et son théâtre de mœurs russes (1912), by the French Slavicist Jules Patouillet,1 which gave priority to this point of view among Western historians of literature and theater, too. However, this perspective is rather one-legged and even incorrect. Studies by Russian philologists of the early twentieth century (Nikolai Kashin, Boris Varneke, Fyodor Batyushkov, Nikolai Piksanov, etc.), who emphasized that Ostrovsky’s plays were inscribed in the pan-European theatrical context, were well ahead of their time and hence consigned to oblivion.2 At the beginning of his anniversary article “Ostrovsky and World Dramaturgy,” Alexander Stein wrote: “The topic of Ostrovsky and world culture appears to be much less obligatory than Dostoevsky, Turgenev, Tolstoy, Chekhov – and world culture.”3 Meanwhile, present-day studies in this field, though largely compelling in their hypotheses 1 Jules Patouillet.
