Vladimir Ivanovich Nemirovich‐Danchenko

Japanese: ネミロビチ･ダンチェンコ（英語表記）Vladimir Ivanovich Nemirovich‐Danchenko

1858‐1943
A Russian and Soviet theater figure. He studied physics and mathematics at Moscow University, but became more and more interested in theater, began writing theater reviews, and eventually made a living writing novels and plays. After experiencing the staging of his own works, he realized the need for reform in theater arts, and so he headed the drama department at the Moscow Philharmonic School, aiming to train actors who could give form to plays with high literary content, rather than just skilled actors who were suitable for vulgar social dramas. This soon led to his meeting with Stanislavsky, and together they founded the Moscow Art Theatre in 1898.

1858‐1943
ロシア･ソ連邦の演劇人。モスクワ大学物理･数学科に学んだが，演劇への傾倒を深め，劇評に筆をとるようになり，小説･戯曲の作によって一家をなすにいたった。やがて自作上演の経験から劇場芸術改革の必要を痛感し，まず低俗な世相劇にふさわしい職人芸の役者ではなく，高い文学的内容をもつ戯曲を形象化しうる俳優の養成を志して，モスクワ･フィルハーモニー学校のドラマ科を主宰した。これがまもなくスタニスラフスキーとの出会いを生む機縁となり，1898年相携えてモスクワ芸術座を創立した。
