The article analyzes for the first time the little-known information about meetings and performances of S.A. Esenin with an actor and a famous theater teacher of the 1920s V.V. Sladkopevtsev. The role of V.V. Sladkopevtsev’s lessons of the performing arts in Esenin’s stage skills, recitation and poetic creativity is revealed using the theoretical propositions and "consistent painting of classes" published by him in the book “The Art of recitation” (1910), as well as the currently known documents and testimonies of contemporaries. It is shown that communication with Sladkopevtsev and other figures of Society of the Artistic revival of Russia was important not only in revealing Esenin’s natural acting talent, in mastering the skill of sounding words and acting, but also in the poet’s creative evolution, in diverse manifestations of the synthesis of musicality and visualization of his works, as well as in the theoretical understanding of the issues of the connection between art and the life of the Russian people.

Keyword: S.A. Esenin, V.V. Sladkopevtsev, dramatics, recitation, synthesis of arts, the Society of the Artistic revival of Russia.
