Using the ideas of music theorist Heinrich Schenker and director and drama teacher Konstantin Stanislavsky, he considers Scott Joplin's Treemonisha, George Gershwin's Porgy and Bess, Kurt Weill's Street Scene, and Aaron Copland's The Tender Land, and argues that tonality was used for dramatic effect.
The theater was established in 1941, combining two musical theaters separately run by Konstantin Stanislavsky and Vladimir Nemirovich-Danchenko, co-founders of the influential Moscow Art Theatre.
My own suspicion is that the 2004 Biennial reflects a moment in American art resembling that in theater when Konstantin Stanislavsky felt compelled to counter with his "method" the mannered "technique" of those he termed "actors of representation," players who had lost a sense of immediacy in their work and fallen into the stale repetition of cliches onstage.
