Alexander Gradsky: type diagnоstics

At the very beginning – logic. Gradsky himself makes lighting equipment. Further sensing and negativism. Talking about his theater, the premises of which were previously a cinema hall, Gradskiy notes: “There were many inconveniences associated with the fact that these cinemas did not provide for any wardrobe. That is, a person entered a coat. The door to the street was in this hall.” Si + negativism

Further, sensorics: Gradsky does not like innovations in architecture, appreciates the classics: “I am an adherent of the fact that how it was built, this is how it should look, and not introduce some terrible innovations into this architecture.”

4.28 – What is this notion with light?
Gradskiy: “I wanted there to be a lot of light and that it was of high quality. Te And a lot of light in a small hall, directed, as usual, on the stage, is absolutely pointless: one spotlight kills the other. It seemed to me that it would be great (hesitantly Ni) if this same light was placed throughout the hall and directed to different points – points of the hall itself. … It seemed interesting if the audience would be inside this luminous flux. It seemed. I came up with this. We drew it. We ordered special equipment. But when we put it all and it all worked, I then realized what I had invented. (Strong sensing and weak intuition) I sat down and as a spectator realized that this was something incredible. The sensation is very strong. ” Si
6.17 “I am without false modesty only because I can criticize myself: when you come up with something, but you don’t know the effect. As you know, poke your finger somewhere and don’t understand where you actually directed this finger. The effect is much stronger than I expected, and on myself. ” (Weak intuition).
6. 40 Rationality: “Then I began, as always, to check this effect. I called actors and directors to me. They come to me regularly and look at this matter. And I look at them. The reaction. And, in general, people with names, with heads, with talent, who have seen everything. This is a strange impression, but not the fact that it will be unmistakably liked by everyone. I don’t know. (Weak intuition.) But the feeling is strange, because you are sitting like this (Gradsky turns around). ”
7.38 The sound, I decided based on my experience and the sound is unique there. (Strong sensing)
– Professional sound engineers often complain about you that Gradsky is starting to do everything his own way. TPE EGO
Gradskiy: “Professional directors go to one place …. The problem of any hall you come to is that this hall has already been built. There is already an apparatus in it and to achieve what you want, there is no time. I have to suffer and try to transform it all. (Weak intuition)
You won’t have to suffer in this theatre, because as I invented it, I did it. And the sound is perfect. Firstly, it does not put pressure on my head, which has often happened, very often happened. Due to the fact that there is a voice, people in different parts of the hall had very unpleasant sensations. We have avoided this. (Strong Si)
9 minutes:
– Was it too loud?
Gradskiy: “It always happens like this: in some place you can hear well, but in some it’s impossible to sit. And in this hall we did it the way I came up with a few years ago … this is purely technology – we turned the speakers away from the viewer. This is the sound reflected from the viewer. It will be 5 + 1 from the walls. (Strong logic)
I don’t think this is my know-how. But one know-how is there – this is when the speakers are not directed at the audience. This is, perhaps, really, know-how (uncertain by the intuition Ne).
The main thing that happened there: we put on very powerful equipment at a very low volume. That is, the pressure is high, but the volume is not. There is a feeling of circular musical pressure, but it does not work on the ears. “ Si
10.30 “Nobody cares how it’s done. They (the audience) understand that they feel good and comfortable .…. People can talk, you can talk. Then we came up with a movie and an image in the hall. I think this is the best image in our city. ” (Strong Si and rationality)
– Again, without false modesty?
11.02 Gradsky: We have very expensive equipment. Very! There is no such technique anywhere. .. The only thing that I take credit for is that all the money that the city gave, they are all embodied in technology … We must pay tribute to the builders who have worked for the last 2-3 years. Very carefully approached”. Te
