- Abstract:
- The acting technique «Demidov études» is a little-known method of the actor training, which was developed in the middle of the twentieth century by the Russian theater pedagogue and director N.V. Demidov. It is based on developing creative intuition, spontaneity, organicity, improvisational and partnership abilities, which, in turn, contribute to achieving creative freedom. The current research deals with the assessment of the creative freedom of students trained in the acting technique «Demidov études». The material of the research is the appropriate skills and competences developed by professional theater and film actors, amateur theaters actors and theater studios participants. The results of the study show that the «Demidov's Études» technique is quite effective in developing a student’s creative freedom. This technique allows actors to directly respond to the right-now-given circumstances, to feel and interact with a partner more subtly, to become more deeply involved in the process of creating a character, to free themselves from standard schemes and norms, and to show their individuality. However, the potential risks of this method include actors’ developing a dismissive attitude towards the author's text and a tendency to unjustifiably interrupt their scene partners.
