Hello again! This is the first post in a new category. I have already introduced the 'Onstage' category about shows I have recently seen. This category will be text based, reserved for observations on books about theater and art that I am reading. I was going to go with just 'I'm Reading', but I wanted to go with something a little more theater oriented. I went, opened my books, and found a beautifully worded introduction to the compilation "Искуссвто режиссуры ХХ века" written by Sergey Zhenovach and entitled "Dialogue with the Greats". Here's what he has to say:
"Порой бывает, что репетиция не сложилась либо очередной поворот судьбы в профессии, и учителю позвонить вроде неловко, а каких-то учителей уже и нет рядом, и тогда спасение только в одном: приходишь домой, садишься за писменный стол, включаешь настольную лампу, открываешь книжки и встуаешь в диалог. У каждого человека, занимающегося театром, есть своя домашняя библиотека, круг заветных книг, которые в трудную минуту что-то подскажут, чем-то помогут...""From time to to time it happens that rehearsal doesn't go well or you run into yet another turning point of fate in your profession, and its awkward to call your teachers, and some teachers aren't even around anymore, and then your salvation is in one thing only: You come home, sit down at your writing desk, turn on your desk lamp, open your books and enter into dialogue. Every person who works in the theater has their own home library, a circle of cherished books, which in difficult times can give you a hint, lend you a hand...."
It seemed to me there was no better quote to start this section, or better name to it. Thank you Sergey Zhenovach, for lending me a helping hand...
