Stanislavsky tradition in teaching Acting at JAMU

Original language description

Stanislavsky's system was compulsory in Czech theatre schools during the period of normalisation (after 1968). I am trying to capture the real effects of its formal inclusion in the school curriculum by conducting interviews with acting or directing students of the time. I focus on only one of the Czech theatre schools: the JAMU in Brno. So far I have managed to talk to nine graduates studying between 1959 and 1987. I am piecing together a picture of the transformation of the pedagogical environment at that time: its ideological colouring, its staffing level, the students' lingering impressions of the effectiveness of the teaching. I map the pedagogical personalities who worked at the school at that time and to what extent they actually used any elements of Stanislavsky's System. I am collecting the reservations and observations that the students of the time retained about the System from the time of their studies. I am asking whether their relationship to Stanislavsky somehow developed in their later theatre practice.
