The project 'Director's Notebooks' emerged after analyzing the archives and video library of the theater. Petr Naumovich Fomenko was a man of bookish culture, with magnificent erudition, and spoke beautifully. His rehearsals were not only real lessons in directing and acting skills, but also a treasure trove of knowledge in literature, history, a real repository of life wisdom. Rehearsals and working on texts took up all of the Master's time. Therefore, he did not keep diaries, director's notebooks, or notes, apart from everyday work-related ones. Consequently, the video archive of his rehearsals is the only way today to understand his methods and working principles, his school, to grasp the secrets of his mastery. Unfortunately, the theater's video archive is very incomplete. Due to objective reasons, recordings of rehearsals of early performances at the 'Workshop', recordings of rehearsals from the late 90s to the early 2000s are extremely fragmentary, rehearsals of some performances, such as 'Forgive Us, Jean-Baptiste' and 'Dead Souls', are completely absent. However, often even recordings of several rehearsals can provide a complete and clear understanding of how the performance was created, why the Master chose this particular work for staging. The director's notebook for performances based on the works of Leo Tolstoy consists of two parts. In the part related to 'War and Peace', we tried to show the rehearsal process directly, selecting the most characteristic recordings (from a very modest video material) that, in our opinion, illustrate one or another method of the Master's work. As for 'Family Happiness', here we only have a few rehearsal fragments, from which it is impossible to create a complete picture of the work on the performance, but it is possible to extract meanings, hear the tasks that the director set for the actors, grasp the essence of the scenes and the main idea of the characters. This is exactly what we tried to do using aphorisms and quotes from Petr Naumovich about the future performance.
