The romanian school of directing. Precursors, founders, reformers

Abstract

The recent history of universal theater surfaced the need of superior education for the theater director profession. Even more recently, the Romanian theater school has started to grow closer to the European direction of fulfilling this need, which has been finding its way and instruments from the start or the 20th century. The paper is centered on an incursion in the history of this branch of theater, establishing the most important pillars which contributed to its foundation and development to date. Ilustrious Romanian theater directors, Camil Petrescu, Ion Sava, Radu Penciulescu and Valeriu Moisescu, through their theoretical principals which have been engraved in the history of Romanian theater and following the academic rules of implementation are the most important pillars of the Romanian theater directors’ school, which owes them its very existence.
