Abstract

The purpose of the research is to review the history of Mariupol's performing arts and to characterize the acting arts technologies (traditional and innovative), which the staff of the Mariupol Drama Theater relies on in its activity. Research methodology. The following methods have been used to achieve the goal of the research: historical is (to study the stages of the theatrical art formation of Donetsk region); analytical is (to identify the basic principles of the acting school as a result of its historical evolution); cultural studies is (to consider the acting school traditions in the context of the contemporary performing arts development in Mariupol); art studies is (in the analysis of acting schools and forms of directing technologies); source studies is (in the study of archival materials related to the theatrical life of the city). The scientific novelty is that the peculiarities of Mariupol contemporary acting art and its relation to the achievements of classical Ukrainian theater of luminaries have been revealed. Conclusions. The center of Donetsk region's theatrical culture is the Donetsk Academic Regional Drama Theater (Mariupol). The analysis of the theater activity at different stages of its functioning makes it possible to confirm that the historical realities of the acting school development of luminaries in Donetsk have fragmentary coverage in the historical, cultural, art and theatrical literature; the formation of repertoire preferences in the actors' troupes was influenced by the touring activities of the Coryphaeus Theater. A special role in this process was played over the principles of artistic images as a central element of the performance, which combines its composition and indirectly affect other components. Despite the period of the so-called "stagnation", in the Soviet theatrical practices in the late 70's we trace the tendency to return to the traditional forms of theatrical expressiveness for the Ukrainian theater, which helped to activate the directing and acting creativity in search of new variants of combining theatrical means of the Ukrainian everyday life inherent in classical and contemporary European drama and comedy theater. The main features of the Ukrainian Acting School of the Mariupol Theater are realistic approach to the creation of stage images; widespread use of music, singing, dance; the productive work of the actor over himself.
