The idea was simple -- keep my directing notes online, preparattion, research, reflections. while rehearsing...
Simple.
To make process of directing transparent. ... and I tried. Almost 10 years ago I started those pages ... Well, this is for PS. NEW : new?

3 Sisters Discussion Group (Realism & Method) *QuestionsQuestions I try to answer, when I direct...Tragedy : case-study NotesMany reasons why I do my production notes online (read web.vtheatre.net), but one of them is the need to have the show I have in me expressed, or simply keep the vision recorded... yes, it's never the way you imagine it -- on stage it has its own forms and life; a lot is gain, discovered, -- and a lot is lost... I wish I could write the "concept" page for my stage directing class, the way I have it for film (Concept). You have to fight for images you have inside, it's not easy to give and to take...

In 1998 I discovered a new language -- HTML. Since 1999 I kept my "director's notes" for the productions at UAF. It began with The Three Sisters...If you read my "webpages about the pages," you know about my webmaster's complains. In short, it's a lot of work. 'Webmaster" is a job, a full time job.It's about to end with another Chekhov -- "Four Jokes and One Funeral" (Fall 2005).
No, I am not done with my "long list" -- or even with the "short list" of plays I wish to direct. I simply cannot make new webpages, when I cannot finish the old ones.
I didn't know it, when I hired myself as a webmaster. It was fun, when I began...
Yeah, it is difficult to let it go, man. Almost seven years I am behind the screen. You get used to your cell. What did I learn in my cyber prison?
We have some records about Meyerhold or Stanislavsky's directing. I didn't know that Efros was writing "Rehearsal, My Love" -- good that he did. I think Anatoly Vasiliev should have it, or I should say it to him... Not now, now is too late. Then, in the seventies.Of course, thre are some pages from the (long) "wish list" -- the titles I will never have a chance to direct. Bergman, Kurosawa, Tarkovsky ("Mirror" or/and "Amarcord" Fellini)... I have to write the scripts first...I wish I would keep my notes then...
Too late.

I won't. I have to write what I must write -- first, I have to write what I have to...
Unless I can vTheatre pages keep running...

"Oedipus"... many thoughts were left unfinished. The contemporary connections get lost first. In every show!
