Podrobný výpis o publikaci

Before 1989, the Stanislavsky system was compulsory in Czech theatre schools. The author attempts to capture the real effects of its formal inclusion in the school curricula by conducting interviews with eleven acting or directing graduates, who had been studying at the Janáček Academy of Performing Arts in Brno between 1951 and 1987. The paper captures the changes in the pedagogical environment at the time: its ideological colouring, the level of its personnel, and the students’ lingering impressions of the effectiveness of the teaching. It maps the pedagogical personalities who were active at the school at the time and the way in which they approached the Stanislavsky system; it presents the reservations and observations of the then students and their opinions on the following impact of the system on their careers as theatre practitioners.
