Download the book"My dance was born out of mud"
The style of Butoh, which I studied in Prague, in Japan with Kazuo Ohno, implies very deep immersion and not always in the bright side of the world. And now I don't want to do that. I live in happiness, because I have children. But the knowledge and the experience - and maybe the exercises - have to be shared. And Kazuo Ohno and Tatsumi Hijikata are already on another planet.
We're not there yet. So - I'll be doing it. And the new performance of A Well-Tempered Life - will be exactly in the classic Derevo style. The Emptiness - The Man - The Power.
Let's do it this way. One of the best Butoh books has been never translated into Russian. A friend of mine translated it. There are only eleven chapters in all. This is the first chapter of Michael Harter's 1984 book. The second chapter - "My dance was born out of mud" (about Tatsumi Hijikata) turned my life upside down. But now - step by step. Print it out and read it. Maybe it touches you. Then - we can work. But it won't be easy.

««V. Mayakovsky»/"Laconic" А. Shein
In A. Shein's movie «V. Mayakovsky", I played the role of the director - V. Meyerhold. One day I was asked to direct the movie and create a film -performance. And so I did it. Me and the actors from Gogol-Centre devised, acted and filmed a performance "Love and Salo". No one will ever see that play again, and the 'film-in-a-film' was only partially included in the final version of V. Mayakovsky. But the story, I think, was the strongest. Here it is! One day full of life!

Lenfilm is celebrating Alexander Sokurov's 70th birthday with a major retrospective.
I can hear it in this rhythm.
Hell is empty. All the devils are here.
The best thing I have ever done in a movie - its a role of Mephistopheles in «Faust».
I'm happy that this film can be seen on the screens again!!!
The work with Sokurov changed my life. I've touched the construction of human perfection. Erudition. Education. An absolute self-control. Humour. A man who represents the profession of filmmaking on the highest level.
Happy birthday, Alexander Nikolaevich! Long life! For to have time to shoot "The Divine Comedy". If you will not take me for the role of Virgil, I'll anyway come to you to serve tea on the film set!

Adasinsky's open short letter to the Gorky Moscow Art Theatre.
I, the author and director of the children's musical Gold, am compelled to announce that I am ending my collaboration with the theatre. There will no longer be "Gold" on the stage of the Moscow Art Theatre.
I can't allow myself or Marina Landa's Children's Musical to be in the same newsfeed as the names of pornographic actresses, just as I can't allow the name of the executioner Stalin, in whose torture chambers the lives of five members of my family were mutilated.
I am sure that this obscurantism will come to an end, and that the audience of the Moscow Art Theatre, educated for decades, will return to the hall to see what this theatre was built for.
With respect and hope for better changes soon.
Director of the Derevo Lab

Anton Adasinsky about the new show, dreams and how it's never too be late
St Petersburg TV channel - Cultural Evolution
"In June, however, we are expecting several meetings with Adasinsky at once. Very soon he will present his mono-performance ROBERT'S TOWN, Robert's Town, at the Skorokhod venue. Those who follow Adasinsky's work closely will remember that the name Robert does not appear in the title of his projects for the first time and it is certainly not a coincidence. But what is it? Who Robert is, why dreams and timely green doors are important will be told by Anton Adasinsky himself. "

GOLD on 1 June at the Gorky Moscow Art Theatre. Gorky Moscow Art Theatre
The play is designed for the modern child, a sophisticated user of the internet and gadgets. The actors speak to children in their language, go down into the auditorium and interact with the audience. The creators of the performance define its genre as a cinema-musical. The production makes extensive use of video art: huge screens widen the stage space and transport the action into a fairytale world. There are also superb costumes, sets and, of course, live music.
The production involves DEREVO Laboratory, the Musical Theatre for Children of Marina Landa and Sergey Vasilyev (composers of music and songs for the cartoon "Smeshariki"), the Children's Theatre Workshop of the Gorky Moscow Art Theatre "The Blue Bird" with the participation of the art-rock band Positive Band.

workshop in St. Petersburg
On 15 and 16 May, Anton will be giving m-classes in St. Petersburg, where for the first time he will address the subject of "Actor and (not "or") Performer.
From an interview with Anton at the Gogol Center
"... The work of not even a genius, but simply a highly professional actor, affects his own biological clock. And the process of aging of the body slows down. The test in this case is the intense emotional experience of the audience and their total lack of sexual attraction to the actor at the moment of the action. In the case of The Performer, it is the opposite. The time becomes a physically tangible celebration. And in this case the test is the 'here and now' feeling and justified excitement..."

Памяти Леонида Борткевича.
"ПЕСНЯРЫ". ВЕРОНИКА. солист Л.Борткевич)
My DEREVO partner Anna Budanova once gave me a number of Leonid Bartkevich. Long time ago as a child I had heard at their concert a fragment of the oratorio "Vanka-Vstan'ka" . It really touched me. And the Pesniary were inside of me forever. And will be. My first group in 6th grade was called Second Breath. The first thing we sang was "Belarus." I kept postponing that call. I wanted to ask for the sheet music to "Vanka-Vstan’ka.»
And now it's too late. Leonid Bartkevich has left this world. The white stork is flying... Listen to their "Veronica". Reach the finale. The end have to be in a major!

Arthur and David premiere at the Gorky Moscow Art TheatreHow glad I am! I'm so glad! We played “Zoloto” at the Moscow Art Theatre! Everything happened wonderfully. After a year's pause, the guys haven't forgotten a single movement or words. They also came up with something new. The performance will live on! Artur and David Adasinskiy were also performing for the first time and after the performance they were ceremoniously accepted into the Сhildrens Musical Theatre of Marina Landa and Sergey Vasiliev.
If I could to perform at the huge stage of the Moscow Art Theatre when I was 8 years old... they will go far!
Thanks to all the young (and not so young) heroes of this event.

1988. Our first trip abroad! And immediately - the sea, and immediately the island "Terschelling"!
Joop Mulder, the director of the Oerol festival, brought us to the venue. "Where's the stage?" - I asked. Joop pointed to the grass. "And the sound?". He pointed to the birds. Without Yop, there would be no DEREVO's street actions. Maybe there would have been no DEREVO at all. And we had been coming to his festival all these years. And he taught us to feel the tiniest signals of nature, to be with it, to hear it, to talk to it and to laugh. A teacher, a friend, an incredible man... Thank you, Joop. You will never be gone!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
Lombard "Phoenix". B. Pushkarskaya, 48. There used to be a sauna there. On New Year's Eve at 2 a.m. gypsies are gathering there. Rich, nicely dressed. They smoke and talk quietly.
I know what they're talking about. Every year you need a new formula for the transformation of the Old into the New.
That's why the Lomard and the Phoenix and the Gypsies. These three words are the answer...
I'm here. The song is already far away. Our inner forces are invisible. And they decide everything.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
