Abstract

Explains L. Kuleshov's body-oriented theory of acting. Describes how actors begin their Kuleshov training with short etudes that are confined to a linear matrix. Proposes that these etudes help students understand how their bodies fit into a planimetric composition, to remain in control of their bodies when confronted with complex floor patterns, and to become comfortable with juxtaposing text against movement.
