During the reign of Tsar [[Alexander III of Russia|Alexander III]] Serge Volkonsky converted to [[Russian Greek Catholic Church]] from Russian Orthodoxy. In 1899, Wolkonsky became Director of the Imperial Theaters, the post for which he is most remembered. Although he held the position only until 1902, he achieved a great deal; [[Diaghilev|Serge Diaghilev]] was his immediate assistant, and Wolkonsky entrusted him with the publication of the ''Annual of the Imperial Theaters'' in 1900. New names appeared in the theaters, such as painters [[Alexandre Benois]], [[Konstantin Somov]], and [[Léon Bakst]]. Wolkonsky was forced to send in his resignation after the conflict with [[Mathilde Kschessinskaya]].
*'''Ancestors. Family. Childhood'''
His mother Princess Elizabeth (Elizaveta Grigorievna) Wolkonsky, nee Princess Wolkonsky, too, was born in 1839. She was a daughter of Grigory Petrovich Wolkonsky (a son of Sophia, a sister of Decembrist Serge Wolkonsky) and of Mary A.Wolkonsky (nee Comptess Benkendorf, a daughter of [[Benkendorf, Alexander|Count Alexander Benkendorf]]. Princess Wolkonsky influenced his son Serge very much having defined a lot of his interests and among them, certainly, his religious views, as she belonged to Holy Church.Among her friends were many famous persons, it's suffice to point out the well-known Russian philosopher, teologist and a poet [[Soloviev, Vladimir |Vladimir Soloviev]]. She wrote some books on the religious matters: "On Church", "Church Tradition and Russian Theological Literature", and a book "The Family of Princes Wolkonsky". She dead on February 15th 1897 in St.Petersburg, and was buried in Fall, entailed estate of Count Benkendorf.


In 1910, he trained in and taught [[eurhythmics]] with [[Émile Jaques-Dalcroze]], influencing [[Stanislavski]]'s work on "tempo-rhythm",<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://ttu-ir.tdl.org/ttu-ir/handle/2346/15905|title = Dalcroze by any other name: Eurhythmics in early modern theatre and dance|date = August 2003|last1 = Lee|first1 = James W.}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal |last1=Davidson |first1=Andrew |title=Konstantin Stanislavski and Emile Jaques-Dalcroze: historical and pedagogical connections between actor training and music education |journal=Stanislavski Studies |date=3 July 2021 |volume=9 |issue=2 |pages=185–203 |doi=10.1080/20567790.2021.1945811|doi-access=free |url=https://openresearch.surrey.ac.uk/view/delivery/44SUR_INST/12152748670002346/13163269740002346 }}</ref> as well as the [[François Delsarte|Delsarte]] method of gestures and movements, and he began to publish articles publicizing them in Russia. These works aroused the interest of [[Constantin Stanislavski]], with whom he briefly collaborated. He set up a school and journal to propagate his ideas, but the advent of [[World War I]] in 1914 put an end to them, and he retired to his estate in [[Tambov]] province until 1918.
The father of Serge Wolkonsky, Michael Sergeevich, was born in 1832, in Petrovsky Zavod in Siberia. He was a son of
[[Volkonsky Sergei Grigorievich|Decembrist Prince Serge Wolkonsky]] and Mary, nee Raevsky. Ivan Puzschin was his godfather. From his birth, Michael was registered as serf. He graduated from the Irkutsk gymnasia but wasn't allowed entering the University as the son of the deportee. However, this reason didn't prevent him from his future career. In 1855, just after the death of [[Emperor Niclaus I]], Michael Wolkonsky reached Russia from Siberia, and by the 70s, he became a member of the State Council. It's interesting to note that this his status didn't prevent him however from publishing the book of his father, "Memoirs of a Decembrist". He dead in 1909 in Rome, and was buried in Fall, as well.
*'''University. The Beginning of actor’s work. Zemstvo (elective district council). 1881-1892.'''
Wolkonsky graduated from the philological faculty of St.Petersburg University in 1884.


After the [[October Revolution]] he taught acting technique in Moscow for a time, but in the spring of 1919 he contracted typhus (as a result of which a premature obituary was published), and in August he was arrested by the [[Cheka]]. He was released and continued teaching and giving lectures, working for a time with [[Proletkult]] and [[Proletcult Theatre]], but eventually he emigrated.
*'''The First American Trip. World's Columbian Exposition, Chicago, 1893. The World's Parliament of Religions. Tour Round the World. 1893-1894.'''
In spring of 1893, in the frames of [[World's Columbian Exposition]] in Chicago the [[World's Parliament of Religions]] was opened. Russian Orthodox Church categorically refused to be presented there and that's why Serge Wolkonsky, 33 years old layman, catholic of the East ceremony, was there as an official representative of Dep't of Public Instruction. His reports and speeches were of anordinary style and contents and made a deep resonance there. Messages on Parliament had been regularly published in the journal "Zerkovny Vestnik" ("The Bulletin of Church") in spite of that attitude to the Congress. The article of Wolkonsky himself was published later on in journal "Vestnik Evropy" ("The European Bulletin") .
On December 2nd 1893 he went by ship "Oceanic" from San-Francisco, and was visiting Havai, Japan, China, Araby, Mediterranean Sea, Italy, and then he came back to Petersburg via Konstantinopol.


From February 1926, he lived in Paris, where he became a leading theatrical critic; he also continued teaching and giving lectures. "During this period of his life in Paris Wolkonsky became one of the most brilliant members of the Russian Emigration".<ref>Marija Trofimova, "Prince Serge M.

Prince Serge Wolkonsky (also referred to as Sergei Mikhailovitch Volkonsky; Russian: Серге́й Миха́йлович Волко́нский; 4 May 1860 – 25 October 1937) was an influential Russian theatrical worker, one of the first Russian proponents of eurhythmics, pupil and friend of Émile Jaques-Dalcroze, and creator of an original system of actor's training that included both expressive gesture and expressive speech.

Biography

[edit]

Wolkonsky was born on the Fall estate near Revel in Imperial Russia (now Tallinn, Estonia). His mother was Princess Elizaveta Grigorievna Volkonskaya, daughter of Grigory Petrovich Volkonsky (son of Sophia, a sister of Decembrist Sergei Volkonsky) and Mary (née Countess Benckendorff, daughter of Count Alexander Benckendorff).

Princess Volkonskaya profoundly influenced her son Serge, defining many of his interests, including his Orthodox religious views; among her friends was the well-known Russian philosopher, theologian and poet Vladimir Solovyov. Wolkonsky's father, Mikhail Sergeevich, was a son of Decembrist Sergei Volkonsky and Mary, née Raevskaya; his godfather was Pushkin's friend Ivan Pushchin, another Decembrist. From his birth, Michael was registered as a serf, and as the son of a deportee wasn't allowed to enter the University, [clarification needed] but in 1855, just after the death of Emperor Nicholas I, he reached Russia from Siberia, and by the 1870s had become a member of the State Council.

Wolkonsky graduated from the philological faculty of St. Petersburg University in 1884. In the spring of 1893, he attended the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago as an official representative of the Department of Public Instruction, and an article by him about it was published later on in Vestnik Evropy ("The European Bulletin"). Later that year he went on a world cruise before returning to Petersburg via Constantinople. In the mid-1890s, he delivered lectures on Russia at Cornell and Harvard.[1][2][3]

During the reign of Tsar Alexander III Serge Volkonsky converted to Russian Greek Catholic Church from Russian Orthodoxy. In 1899, Wolkonsky became Director of the Imperial Theaters, the post for which he is most remembered. Although he held the position only until 1902, he achieved a great deal; Serge Diaghilev was his immediate assistant, and Wolkonsky entrusted him with the publication of the Annual of the Imperial Theaters in 1900. New names appeared in the theaters, such as painters Alexandre Benois, Konstantin Somov, and Léon Bakst. Wolkonsky was forced to send in his resignation after the conflict with Mathilde Kschessinskaya.

In 1910, he trained in and taught eurhythmics with Émile Jaques-Dalcroze, influencing Stanislavski's work on "tempo-rhythm",[4][5] as well as the Delsarte method of gestures and movements, and he began to publish articles publicizing them in Russia. These works aroused the interest of Constantin Stanislavski, with whom he briefly collaborated. He set up a school and journal to propagate his ideas, but the advent of World War I in 1914 put an end to them, and he retired to his estate in Tambov province until 1918.

After the October Revolution he taught acting technique in Moscow for a time, but in the spring of 1919 he contracted typhus (as a result of which a premature obituary was published), and in August he was arrested by the Cheka. He was released and continued teaching and giving lectures, working for a time with Proletkult and Proletcult Theatre, but eventually he emigrated.

From February 1926, he lived in Paris, where he became a leading theatrical critic; he also continued teaching and giving lectures. "During this period of his life in Paris Wolkonsky became one of the most brilliant members of the Russian Emigration".[6] He became the first director of established in 1931 Conservatoire Rachmaninoff in Paris. During this time he became "a close friend and associate of the poet Marina Tsvetaeva (who dedicated to him her cycle of poems 'The Disciple' and wrote an essay about his memoirs)."[7]

In 1936, he was invited by the Kurt Jooss ballet school in London, after which he taught in the ballet company of Alicia Markova and Anton Dolin. In London, he met his future wife, Mary Walker Fearn, daughter of United States diplomat J. Walker Fearn and, by her first marriage, a sister-in-law of the former Mrs. Elsie French Vanderbilt. After the marriage, Prince and Princess Wolkonsky went to the United States, where, in Hot Springs, Virginia, he died after a brief illness. "His health had been undermined by four years of teaching in Bolshevik schools."[8] On 31 October, a requiem was held in a Catholic church, and "besides relatives there was all Russian Paris."[9] He was buried in Richmond, Virginia.
