The Meyerhold Centre

The Meyerhold Centre (TCM) is a Russian culture centre.

The mission of The Meyerhold Centre (TCM) is to: consolidate efforts to study, disseminate and develop the creative ideas of Meyerhold.

The way the centre sees it, Vsevolod Meyerhold was the most prominent artist and innovator to have influenced Russian and international theatre.

In his spirit the centre aims to support promising initiatives that arise within the theatre, as well as at the point of intersection between diverse art forms, in the live interaction of avant-garde and archaic forms.

Without turning itself into an academic institute, nor into a repertoire theatre, The Meyerhold Centre is intended to be its own form of bridge between historical-theoretical investigation and experimental theatrical practice.

What is The Meyerhold Centre?

According to the centre, it is a laboratory. Quote:

"A studio, as Meyerhold loved to say. A work-place for professionals who still have questions to ask of life. A place, where risks can be taken, to search for new forms (which, strangely, are still necessary) without shunning the old ones, for without a certain level of conservatism, a healthy avant-garde cannot exist."
