The turbulent story of the Meyerhold Theatre started in 1920, when Meyerhold established the First Theatre of RSFSR. In 1921, Meyerhold established the State Higher Director Workshops. There he worked on developing biomechanics — a system of exercises that helped actors to manage body movements consciously, accurately, and naturally. After the First Theatre of RSFSR was closed, Meyerhold organized the Vs. Meyerhold Free Workshop.
