Abstract

Josip Kulundžić’s engagement in the field of drama pedagogy was multi- faceted and fruitful. For almost three decades, he taught in state drama schools and a private drama studio. Kulundžić’s pedagogical work ranged from the scientific field of theatrology to the artistic fields of acting, directing and dramaturgy. This paper reports on Kulundžić’s drama pedagogy, manifested in two aspects: theoretical, which refers to designing drama curriculum, and practical, which refers to the implementation of the curriculum in teaching drama. The data collection method, content analysis method, biographical and compara- tive methods were used in the research. Based on Kulundžić’s own writings on pedagogy, on testimonies given by his students, fellow professors and assistants, artistic collaborators and managers, as well as on theater experts’ and critics’ opinions, it can be concluded that Kulundžić was deeply dedicated to pedagogical issues and that his approach in working with young actors was enthousiastic – he taught them dramatic theory, but also supported their creative expression on stage, revealed their hidden potentials, encouraged and moti- vated them. These testimonies lead to the conclusion that Josip Kulundžić deserved to get a significant place in the field of drama theory and practice.
