BioMechanics
Featured Pages: Biomechanics * The Images (The BM Album) are still not all in place! [new from vTheatre -- GeoAlaska, links to my graphic files are in the list minipages]
This THR directory has no identity. New files Lorca, Bakhtin, etc. -- Theatre Theory? Does it all belongs to Spectator?
Originally it was nothing but a depository for extra-files to support theGlobe website...
The same questions I face with the ANT Theatre; the directories do mirror THR w/Anatoly -- act, direct, script... (gone)
How to introduce this directory to the rest of the theatre pages?
[1]Biomechanics, [2]Method of the System, [3]Spectator, [4]StageMetrix : Rehearse, [5]Script Analysis of History

... I hate this directory; huge and disorganized! I don't think that this directory will ever take any shape; I use it for myself. The parts 1-3 (performance, directing, script) provide very little structure. The same with the new "research" directory. Some files are still waiting for my comments (that's why they are here). I guess, it's better than nothing (or total mess, as before).
Am I still struggle with the templates of the webpages? Or with the principles of this web-organization? Something is not in place in formating the texts for the Internet. Serious matter, no time to think about it. Anatoly 2002
NB. The Plato Academy drunken night parties and the Platonic Girls -- good idea, but when will write the scenes for this comedy? Besides, this formalistic trick is spilling over to The Book of Spectator -- I didn't want to write it, not another project! Allthough the genre and the plot as "developing ideas" are so tempting! The literary device of Platonic dialogues will let me keep together the serious texts.
Also, the Net: how can I be serious facing such a crowd? One has to joke in front of so many. Writing online is a standup comedy format...

Summary
I am not a researcher or a historian, there is nothing new you can find on my webpages. I teach and all what I did just keeping my notes for classes. Over the past six years the notes grew (including the graphics and links). I try to apply the existing knowledge (Method or Biomechanics) -- and I try to find the way to pass it on my students.
Questions
Oh yes! The gods' introduction I began on title and intro pages?"Dionysus is a god of vegetation in general and in particular of the vine, the grape, and the making and drinking of wine, with the exhilaration and release it can bring. He is the coursing of the blood through the veins and the throbbing intoxication of nature and of sex. He represents the emotional and the irrational in human beings, which drives them relentlessly to mob fury, fanaticism, and violence, but also to the highest ecstasy of mysticism and religious experience. Within Dionysus lies both the bestial and the sublime.
Essential to his worship was a spiritual release through music and dance; in the history of religion, archetypal behavior demands music and dance as essential for the most exalted rituals. In Bacchic ceremonies, the god took possession of his worshipers, who ate the raw flesh of the sacrificial animal in a kind of ritual communion since, they believed god to be present in the victim. This ceremony was called OMOPHAGY [o-mo'fa-jee], and the religious congregation was known as the holy THIASUS [theye'a-sus], or THIASOS.
The female followers are called BACCHAE, or BAKCHAI; as we have learned, these are mortal women who could become possessed by the god. They are also called MAENADS [mee'nadz], or MAINADS. These names are also given to the mythological nymphs, spirits of nature, who follow in Dionysus' retinue.
SATYRS [sa'ters or say'ters] are the mythological male counterparts of these nymphs. They, however, are not completely human, but part man and part animal, with a horse's tail and ears and a goat's beard and horns. They are usually depicted nude and often sexually excited.
SILENI [seye-lee'neye], or SILENOI (sing.: silenus, silenos), are also older satyrs, some of whom are wise."
