| biography:
| Theatre director, actor, and teacher, born in Vladikavkaz, Armenia. He became an actor with The Moscow Art Theatre in 1911, and from 1920 was head of the Third Studio, which after 1926 became the Vakhtangov Theatre. In all aspects of his work he made a synthesis of Stanislavsky's and Meyerhold's methods, stressing the expressiveness of the actor. His concept of ‘fantastic realism’ informed his finest and most influential productions, notably Anski's The Dybbuk, staged for the Habima Theatre in 1922. |
