- Administrative/biographical history:
- The writer and dramatic recitation theorist Feyge Izrailevna Kogan (pseudonym: A. Talin) (1891-1974) was born in Moscow and graduated from the First Moscow Empress Mariia Aleksandrovna School (1908). She studied at Moscow’s A. L. Shaniavskii Public University (1911-12), and took V. K. Serezhnikov’s courses on declamation at the State Declamation Institute (where she would later teach as well), and also took a two-year course in Hebrew. In 1917, she joined the troupe of Naḥum Tsemakh, performers of which would later make up the core of the Habimah Theater, and assisted that theatre’s actors in their study of Hebrew. After the October Revolution, she served as head of the repertoire section of the Proletkul’t theater department; headed various studios; and published several articles on issues pertaining to dramatic recitation. In 1920, she joined a young poets’ circle, aligning with the “neoclassicist” group. She published the poetry collections My Soul (1912) and The Torch (1923). She spent the last years of her life at a hostel for arts workers near Moscow.
