Abstract: Traditional Chinese theatre has a centuries-old history. Although this process has experienced its ups and downs, actors’ skills in traditional Chinese theatre have not been completely lost; they have been passed down from one generation to another up to the present time. Especially in modern China, traditional Chinese theatre inherits traditions and, at the same time, it is constantly updated, continuously striving for versatility and modernisation. After Meyerhold’s death, the development of biomechanics was suspended for political reasons; however, owing to the study and revival of Meyerhold’s theatrical heritage by subsequent generations, a set of systematic performance methods has gradually formed. In the process of their development, these two methods (biomechanics and the skill of traditional Chinese theatre) have some common features.
