Description
This study deals with the establishment of Reinhardt’s school, the training that took place until WWII (including the implementation of nazi officials at the institution), the program of study during the German Democratic Republic, and finally the Hochschule fr Schauspielkunst “Ernst Busch”. By offering a detailed account of actor training methods which existed shortly after the fall of the Berlin Wall, the study examines the shift in emphasis from a socialist Realistic school of acting, as one of the state institutes of the GDR, to a more eclectic, broad-based approach. As witneessed in 1993, the tprofram showed the influence of Reinhardt’s theories of acting as well as those of Stanislaviski and Brecht. Several of the schools’ main teachers and leaders throughout its almost ninety year history are profiled, with their corresponding theoretical views included.
