Abstract
The Ecole Nationale Supérieure des arts de la Marionnette was created in1987 by Margareta Niculescu in Charleville-Mézières, at the heart of the Institut International de la Marionnette. Resourceful educational methods renewed both initial and professional training alike as artists were invited to come and teach and convey their knowledge. A balance between learning fundamentals (construction, dramatic acting, manipulation, body and movement, voice) and artistic workshops directed towards personal and collective projects structures a 3-year curriculum. The School’s move into new premises, thus allowing for an increase in the 3-year cycle rhythm, and the forthcoming creation of a new puppeteer-actor diploma situate this training and this trade in the development and recognition of puppetry arts in France.Keywords: Resourceful educational methods. Learning fundamentals. Initial training. Puppeteer-actor. Trade.
Highlights
Since its creation by Margareta Niculescu in 1987, the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Arts de la Marionnette (ESNAM) has distinguished itself through educational methods that reconsider the fundamentals of passing on knowledge of a traditional art
In a text2 retracing her career as producer and stage director for the Tandarica Theatre3, she bears witness to the positive effect on the work performed by permanent actors and technical crews alike in the company of the different stage directors with whom they had the opportunity to collaborate; during contact with singular artistic worlds, methods would be revisited each time and this would in turn trigger questioning and new acquisitions, enriching their career and giving them new methods or broadening their prior knowledge
When asked in1985 to give thought to approaches for training, and right from her beginnings as director of the Institut International de la Marionnette - IIM in Charleville-Mézières, Margareta Niculescu drew on her experience to conceive of an educational programme combining the transmission of knowledge and basic hands-on training overseen by artists
