ФОРМИРОВАНИЕ ТВОРЧЕСКОЙ ЛИЧНОСТИ ТЕАТРАЛЬНОГО ПЕДАГОГА: ОПЫТ ЯРОСЛАВСКОЙ ТЕАТРАЛЬНОЙ ШКОЛЫ

Abstract

The article explores the process of formation of creative personality of a theater teacher. The author analyzes the experience of Yaroslavl theater school, which formation was started in 1962 by F. E. Shishigin, a creative leader of the Theater named after F. G. Volkov, one of the major Russian directors of this epoch, and the initiator of the opening of the theater vocational school in Yaroslavl. At the time when Yaroslavl theater school was coming into being, F. E. Shishigin opened a teachers’ creative laboratory, which work had a significant influence on the formation of creative personalities of the teachers in the school. The process of professional formation of creative personality of a theater teacher within the framework of the teachers’ creative laboratory of Yaroslavl theater school, described in the study in retrospect, gave the author an opportunity for a profound description of the process of formation and development of the theater school phenomenon itself. The material under study allowed the author to draw an important conclusion that the establishment of the theater institute on the basis of the theater vocational school in Yaroslavl in 1980, didn’t affect the continuity in the existingpedagogical tradition (school). This, in many ways, was facilitated by the continuous work of the teachers’ creative laboratory. Using various methodological approaches (primarily cultural and theatrical ones) to comprehend how creative personality of a theater teacher is being formed, the author of the article concludes that the study of cultivation of creative personality of a teacher is relevant on the territory of the modern theater school. Analysis of the pedagogical heritage of F. E. Shishigin contributes to the body of cultural and theatrical knowledge of theater pedagogy, theater school in general and Yaroslavl theater school in particular. The examined topic will be interesting to specialists in the field of theater education, as well as culturologists studying the creative personality phenomenon.
