The Function Of Art In Leadership Development

Redefine your art of maneuvering science, highlighting the development of a new thinking that doesn’t show differences between what you build and what you convey.

Avid of knowledge, Eisenstein worked intensely. He began staging one of Platnev’s plays. The frantic desire of expressing himself through new images, by new means, led here to novel solutions, all of which were, in fact, a new step towards cinema. The young scenographer aimed to create a certain relationship between man and his environment, explaining the loneliness of the individual crushed by the metropolis. For this he had to express the overwhelming dynamics of the big city.

Eisenstein had an idea that amused him: to use movable sceneries tied to people. The actors move on roller skates and at the same time carry their piece of the city. The solution of joining man with his environment was influenced by cubism, by Picasso. But the resolve was entirely original.

The four legs of two bankers wore the façade of a scholarship covered with two top-hats, a policeman was simply crossed by the movement on the streets, a part of the costumes glowed of mobile lights in perspective, other characters only had giant lips visible above them…

All of these moved frantically, crisscrossed, disappeared and reappeared. They were cinematographic formulas, film elements that tried to adapt to the stubbornness of theatrical scenes. Eisenstein used here, before scripture, the cinematic language of backgrounds, chaining, overpressure. It was only in the film "The Strike" that he capitalized consciously on these means of filmic expression. *

For what purpose and in what quantity do you use the stable parts of the mechanism of “scenery combinations” that is hidden in the art you serve, to get a new image of the facts that led to the production of a major event?

The director deals with the formation of a new region of development through a redefined art, through a new type of representing the multiple variables of redefining his role in the activity of individualizing the characters and the situations in which they are put. On this field the virtues and superior values of intellectuality and his determinism rise. He cannot create a certain relationship with his development environment, up to the using the means of expression in the construction of new and innovative scientific projects, without collecting resources (images, sceneries and their personalization methods) from the vicinity of the human connection with the environment in which they are located.

A combination of scenery is an immediate reflection of the director’s feelings and thoughts in the direction of outlining an overall image meant to portray reality as accurately as possible, taking into account the conditions to which the characters are subjected by the nature of their intelligence and the soul they show through their deeds. At the same time, a combination of scenery is the process of creating a distinct living environment, in which different characters can manifest as being an integral part of the director’s personality in a controversial chain of events.

So, the director must also be a good event organizer in an echo of the facts that determine another perception of the world, its mysteries, understanding of what is happening to us and the purpose for which we exist in a way and not in another. In the art that the director serves, hide not only role reversals, spectacular stage effects, chromatic experiments or an abundance of costumes, but especially that harmless vitality that he wants to experience through indirect participation in certain events, that passion to be at the forefront of a fight that in reality he cannot win.

Obtaining a new image of the facts that lead to the production of a great event means using the status you have, that of a forger of realities, to express your point of view towards what you consider to be “the naked truth” camouflaged in a thing that can be assigned a certain moment in time and a unique location in space, in relation to a reference system.

The Function Of Art In Leadership Development is to express with the help of image and imagination, in an exploration of the extraordinary, the need to tick off a presence that manifests itself as a form of relieving social pressures, as a form of culture dedicated to elites.

This function is determined by the use of higher standards of thought, such as: “The good man is morally unaltered by the major acts of a destructive civilization” or “No character is the despot to which all others are subordinated or sacrificed.”

Leadership is a component of using the mechanisms of establishing a new visual identity, based in particular on the relationship between scenery and characters.
