Mr. Rovinsky trained in Biomechanics with Alexei Levinsky in St. Petersburg, Russia. Mr. Levinsky is one of only a handful of teachers in the world who currently practice or teach the method in its entirety. Mr. Levinsky was trained by master teacher Nicholai Kustov. Mr. Kustov worked directly with Meyerhold in his school and is therefore part of a direct line to Meyerhold's teaching style and method.
