  The Greatest Imagist of the Theatre
Craig, working madly in Florence to earn a living and develop his ideas at the same time, was moved to tears and laughter--and stimulated to fresh efforts.
Great artist that she is, she recognized in Craig a kindred spirit, a brother in genius, and promptly engaged him to put on for her a production of Ibsen's "Rosmersholm." He combed Florence for scene painters, stage carpenters, stage hands, only to find that there were none to be had.
Craig stayed behind the company a few hours, in Florence; Duse went to Pisa, where the theatre was a little smaller than the one in Florence and the scenery didn't fit very well.

 Edward Gordon Craig Gordon Craig Fine Art
Edward was the second child of the actress Ellen Terry and the architect Edward William Godwin born on 16 January 1872.
From the outset, Craig propounded an art of the theatre in which reality, instead of being reproduced by traditional representational methods, would be transcended and interpreted by symbol.
Craig's stage productions and, even more, his writings and his highly stylized stage designs, woodcuts, and etchings strongly influenced the antinaturalist trends of the modern theatre in the first half of the 20th century.

 Harvard Gazette: Exhibition documents life of influential theatrical designer
Edward Gordon Craig (1872-1966) was perhaps the most influential theatrical designer in the first decades of the 20th century, and was known for using nonrealistic, symbolist design rather than sentimentality in his creations.
A master at the art of woodcut engravings, a publisher, editor, book illustrator, and essayist, Craig's passions covered many art forms, but all were driven by his devotion to the theater and his conviction that he alone envisioned the grand design that would renew the life of the theater.
A new exhibition, "Edward Gordon Craig and the Art of the Theatre," explores Craig's life and work and is on display at the Harvard Theatre Collection, Pusey Library, through May 30.

 D17 Edward Gordon Craig, Japan, and English-Language Verse
Craig’s conceptions of a ‘total’ theatre incorporating all the arts, with emphasis on symbolist set designs, masks, verse, and dance, are often related both by Craig himself and by others to principles derived from the classical theatre of Japan, particularly the nô.
By the time the journal began Craig was the most influential theorist of the theatre in Europe, and the scriptures and dictates that appeared in its pages confirmed and extended his pre-eminence, most importantly in the context of this study as a defining force in the development of Yeats’s ‘anti-theatre’.

Craig, this is silly, but I'll make one last attempt to clarify: I'm not talking about messages that came from YOU.
I'm talking about messages that were re-sent to the board by third parties, and that had excerpts from both you and Gordon in them.
I sent out my own posts, and made it > clear when I was forwarding Gordon's posts, in which he quoted Netiva and > others in a chat dialogue, in which I was not involved.
