Thesis (MDram)--Stellenbosch University, 1997. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: A thesis in which the author examines ways in which the director within an acting
training institution may use the full-scale theatre production as a means of intense
training for the students involved.
The author contends that much of the theory and practical work taught within a
classroom situation cannot be fully comprehended and/or brought to fruition if it is
not tested and experienced within as realistic (pertaining to professional theatre) as
possible a scenario, in the form of the student production.
For the purposes of this thesis, the typical practical production process is used as a
model and different areas in which the director may act as a teacher or catalyst to
self-discovery are discussed largely in the order in which they might occur in
practice.
The author concludes that to provide intensive training through the production
process would be a very time-consuming and costly endeavour, although very
rewarding if it were at all possible. In addition to this, it would require a highly
qualified director-trainer, with an holistic understanding of the 'theatrical art, who
is prepared to invest a great amount of time and effort in such a production.
Research for this thesis included reading material, practical directing and acting
projects, and teaching practical acting in the capacity of a part-time lecturer at the
University of Stellenbosch Drama Department. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: 'n Tesis waarin die outeur maniere ondersoek waardeur 'n regisseur binne 'n
akteurs-opleidingsinstansie die volskaalse teaterproduksie kan gebruik as 'n metode
vir intense opleiding vir die betrokke studente.
Die outeur meen dat 'n groot gedeelte van die teorie en praktiese opleiding wat in
die klaskamer weergegee word, nie ten voile verstaan of benut word, tensy die
student dit beproef en beleef in so 'n realisties (wat professionele teater betref)
moontlike scenario, in die vorm van 'n studenteproduksie.
Vir die doeleindes van hierdie tesis word 'n tipiese produksieproses as model
gebruik, en verskeie areas waarin die regisseur as onderwyser of katalisator tot
selfontdekking kan optree, word grotendeels bespreek in die volgorde waarin dit in
die praktyk mag voorkom.
Die gevolgtrekking is dat intensiewe opleiding in die produksieproses 'n uiters
tydsame en duur oefening sou wees, dog baie lonend indien prakties uitvoerbaar.
Daarby sou dit 'n hoogs gekwalifiseerde regisseur-opleier verg, met 'n holistiese
kennis van die teaterkuns, wat bereid is om baie tyd en moeite op s6 'n produksie
te bestee.
Navorsing vir hierdie tesis sluit in leeswerk, praktiese regie- en toneelspelprojekte
sowel as klasgee in toneelspel as deeltydse lektor aan die Universiteit van
Stellenbosch se Departement Drama.
