• STANISLAVSKY AND YOGA - Documentary film, 45 minutes long
The film features theater director and acting teacher Sergei Tcherkasski (Head of the Acting Studio at the St. Petersburg State Academy of Theatrical Arts) in a conversation about yoga in actor training with the world's leading theater practitioners - directors Anatoly Vasiliev, Luk Perceval, playwright Ivan Viripaev, artistic director of the St. Petersburg Molodeghnyi Theater Semen Spivak, as well as Archimandrite Isidor, Grotowski researcher Natella Bashindgiagian, and young actors...
The film deals with one of the most important sources of the Stanislavsky System - Yoga, its practice and philosophy. It presents records about yoga in Stanislavsky's writings from different periods and discusses occult references that are not explained by Stanislavsky himself due to the censorship of his time. Vivid examples of Yoga-based training in the rehearsal practice of the Moscow Art Theater and in many of Stanislavsky's studios are provided.
It also includes archival footage and rare photos, as well as stunning views of the Moscow Art Theater and Stanislavsky House. It is based on Tcherkasski's award-winning books "Acting: Stanislavsky – Boleslavsky – Strasberg" and "Stanislavsky and Yoga" and premiered on the Russian TV channel CULTURE in November 2016.
