In particular, theorized episodes related to the formation of a universal artist's performing manner. The process researches provided a phenomenological (generalization of individual characteristics of the performing manner of Y. Hirnyak), historical and comparative and comparative-typological methods designed to reveal the similarity and distinction between the phenomena of the theater of the 1920's and 1930's, to determine the genetic affinity, general and specific in their development . As a result, new theoretical generalizations of Y. Hirnyak's creative work on the Beryazil horse are derived.
