To avoid superstition is superstition. Francis BaconActors of the theater, cinema and directors truly do not hold superstitions. In a creative environment, superstitions and signs of actors grow like mushrooms after rain, and, oddly enough, play an important role in organizing filming and theater performances. Signs are taken so seriously that they are taken into account in everything: from the selection of costumes and scenery to the distribution of roles and the choice of the day of the premiere. It is not uncommon for an actor to turn down a role due to superstition. Under the contract system in Russia, actors even negotiated lists of roles that were unacceptable for performance. It will be useful for students of theater studios, young professionals and everyone whose activities are related to the stage or film set to find out the most common folk signs of actors for happiness. It is known that artists are nervous people: for a simple whistle in the theater or an attempt to gnaw seeds, they can be thrown out the door and forbidden to even approach the building. Terrible prospect for a first day at work, isn't it? But one should pay tribute to the concern of the ministers of art, many of the signs of the actors really come true. And about performances and films with a black reputation, such as Macbeth, Viy and The Master and Margarita, there are legends even among people far from theater and cinema.
Signs in the dressing room and at the rehearsal
The theater begins with a hanger, and it is born in the make-up room or simply in the dressing room. This is a place with a special atmosphere: there the actor leaves all his fears and worries before going on the big stage. Such a place simply could not help but be overgrown with superstitions, every step here must be thought out and weighed. By the way, this very step into the dressing room should be done exclusively with the left foot! Even acting signs and superstitions say that the dressing room of the leading artist has mystical power, and if you sit alone in it for some time, you can attract good luck and fame.In no case, under any circumstances, do not look into the dressing room mirror over the shoulder of the actor. This sign is one of the most terrible: it is believed that a great misfortune will happen to an actor who has been looked over his shoulder.
It's bad luck to scatter makeup on the dressing table. This is one of the reasons for the neatness and exemplary order in the theater premises.
It is undesirable to glue any kind of pictures on the door of the dressing room
Neither in the dressing room, nor at rehearsals, you can not drop the text of the play or script. But if it so happened that he did fall, you can’t just pick up the sheet from the floor. Before that, you must definitely sit on it. In the water, in the mud, in the snow - this is the problem of a negligent actor. This ritual is strictly observed by artists of all ages.
If someone brought soap into the dressing room, it will stay there forever. Taking out soap is a bad sign. According to another version, it is not allowed to give your soap to colleagues.
The number 13 terrifies artists. It is unlikely that you will find a theater where there is a dressing room under this number.
Shakespeare's Macbeth is the most notorious work in the history of theater. A lot of mystical incidents and tragic events around the world are associated with it. Therefore, in Russian theaters it is strictly forbidden to sing songs from "Macbeth", and in American theaters - to pronounce the word "Macbeth" without a good reason. Disrespect for this word, according to the Americans, is fraught with the closure of the theater.
Superstitions on stage and set
Stage energy is an incomprehensible thing for those who have never stood on a big stage. The very atmosphere there is electrified to such an extent that every detail becomes vital and may well make the difference between a brilliant performance and a complete failure. The very image and spirit of the theater is thoroughly saturated with superstitions and is inconceivable without them. There are thousands of actors' tales about completely implausible events, some of which actually took place during famous theatrical performances or on the set of films. For centuries, stories about actors, whose tragic fates repeat the roles played one to one, do not subside and fascinate listeners, and not all of these stories are fiction. You should not strictly judge artists for their weakness for superstitions and signs. Such is the specificity of their activity that one cannot do without mysticism and mystery in it.- Going on stage is a special ritual. Each actor has his own. Here you can find such an assortment of various prejudices that listing them would take an entire article. Most often, the actor prefers to go on stage from the side from which he came out on the day of his first success, and adheres to this tradition until the end of his career.
- On filming there is a tradition reminiscent of the custom of breaking a bottle of champagne on the hull of a ship leaving for its maiden voyage. Only they hit not a bottle, but a plate, and not about a vessel, but about a camera tripod. The plate, of course, must break, otherwise fate does not bode well for the film at the box office. Fragments with the names of the members of the film crew are dismantled as a keepsake.
- Perhaps the greatest number of superstitions is associated with death on stage or in a film. And this is not surprising, since many actors, having died on stage, soon died for real. A whole arsenal of various ritual techniques helps to resist this destructive effect of the role. If an actor lies down in a coffin in a performance, he should put a bottle of vodka under his head, and after the performance present it to his friends, who will drink to his health. And in the cinema, it is enough to show the tongue to the camera without interrupting the filming, for which you have to negotiate separately with the operator.
The world, as you know, is a theater, and the people in it are Shakespeares, that is, the actors, directors and playwrights of their lives. Every new day we have a premiere and, at the same time, a rehearsal of the next day, the next premiere. Being a person is already a creative profession, which has its own geniuses and mediocrity, its own favorites of fortune and those who have been in disgrace for a long time and firmly. But even for a professional actor, it is not easy every time to go backstage to the stage, to step from one world to another. (Therefore, by the way, the actors, whose, for the most part, are superstitious). And we, "in the world", have to move from one world to another every morning when we wake up.
In the light of the foregoing, it is interesting to know with the help of what signs and rituals those for whom the theater is not only a life, but a profession, call for good luck and avoid troubles. Or vice versa.
Let's start with the rehearsal. In no case should the actor drop the text with the role during the rehearsal. If this all happened, you should immediately sit down on a piece of paper with text and remember seven bald friends. Otherwise, the role will definitely be taken away, which is a shame for any self-respecting actor.
If during a rehearsal or on the set someone gnaws seeds or whistles, most likely the film or performance will fail. Bad omens that indicate that the role will fail also include feather jewelry and fresh flowers in the hands or as decorations.
There is no dressing room at number 13 in any theater. It is believed that a wide variety of troubles will follow this number. The same unfortunate actors call the yellow color and the cross-eyed girl in the corps de ballet.
It is desirable to enter the dressing room from the left foot.
It is strictly forbidden to look over the shoulder of an actor when he is putting on make-up: in this way, you can take away not only good luck, but also health from him. Also, don't give your soap to anyone. Luck goes with him.
Spilled makeup on the dressing table is a bad omen, so the actors need to carefully monitor all their jars and boxes.
Any pictures on the doors of the dressing room are considered a bad omen.
But a cat on stage can be both a good and a bad omen. If he walks across the stage at a rehearsal, it's bad luck. If the same cat walks across the stage during the performance, then the premiere will be a success.
In no case should the fee for a performance or filming be spent before the premiere of the performance or film takes place. Otherwise, failure is possible.
Directors argue that no one, except the director himself, should sit on the director's chair. If this prohibition is violated, some kind of misfortune will surely happen. As proof of the validity of this sign, various terrible stories are cited, they even say that one actress sat on the director's chair at a daytime rehearsal and was raped in the evening.
At rehearsals or filming of comedies, it is undesirable for actors to laugh. There is an opinion that the more fun the actors are at the rehearsal, the more boring the audience in the hall will be. Leonid Gaidai was a particularly fierce supporter of this sign, and he already knew the secrets of making a real comedy.
No matter how the last run went, in order for the premiere to be successful, everyone should say together: “The run went badly!”. For the success of the premiere, the actors do not need to say the last phrase of their role at the dress rehearsal.
When playing in the plays of Gogol and Bulgakov, one must be careful - it is believed that the texts of the authors are surrounded by mysticism. It is also dangerous to play Ivan the Terrible, Don Juan, Ophelia and almost all the roles from Macbeth.
Among children's performances, "Robin Hood" and "Children in the Forest" are considered unlucky. But, "" - brings good luck.
Entering the stage should only be from the "happy" backstage. The "lucky" side is the side you were leaving on when you had your first success. At the same time, according to the old Mkhatov sign, it is necessary to step with the right foot and just before the exit - spit over the left shoulder. Then the performance will be successful and none of the artists will forget the text.
It is considered a bad sign, especially in opera and operetta theaters, if the heel accidentally falls into a gap on the stage. This means that something is holding the actor back and not letting him go to the public.
If during the performance the actor finds a nail on the stage, this is a good sign. The nail should be picked up and secretly hammered somewhere behind the scenes. Then the further career of the actor will be successful.
Dying on the screen and stage is a very bad omen, and the worst thing is to lie down on the set in a coffin. Very often the actors, having played this scene, really died soon, moreover, the circumstances of their real death repeated those in which they died in the cinema. But there is a way out!
Actors believe that in order to avoid unpleasant consequences, it is necessary to agree with the director and cameraman so that after the command “Stop! Taken!” they didn't turn off the camera right away. If the “dead” actor has time to look into the lens, smile and show his tongue, everything will be fine with him.
To be sure, before shooting, when you need to lie in a coffin, you need to put a bottle of vodka under your head. After the scene is fully filmed, this bottle is given to friends and colleagues to drink to the health of the actor who played his own death. In this case, all troubles and misfortunes will be taken over by vodka. The actor himself also needs to be present in the company, but you can’t drink from this bottle. From the other - it is possible.
Of course, not all of these signs can be adapted to the theater of ordinary life, but after all, Holy Scripture does not give direct advice on how to live correctly. Therefore, you need to think and turn on the imagination.
Having met, for example, a cat on the street, you should immediately start the premiere, even if this day was planned only as a rehearsal for something wonderful tomorrow.
Feeling that you are losing yourself, you need to immediately pull yourself together, literally sit on yourself, as an actor sits on the text of the role, even in dirt and discomfort, until no one else sits on you.
Before you sit in someone else's chair, you should think about the fact that maybe this is the director's chair?

As early as January 23, 1933, in his letter to the cloakroom attendants of the Moscow Art Theater, the great Russian theater director and acting teacher Konstantin Sergeevich Stanislavsky wrote: “... the performance begins from the moment you enter the theater building. You are the first to meet the incoming spectators ... ". This quote, over time, transformed into a catchphrase: "The theater begins with a hanger," which implies the following: there are no secondary roles and professions in theatrical art.
That's why World Theater Day is a professional holiday for all theater workers: actors, theater directors, producers, lighting technicians, sound technicians, scenery fitters, and even ushers and cloakroom attendants. But not only... Theater Day is a celebration of millions of spectators.
