The Roots of the “Szentgyörgyi István” Theatre Institute
It is said that every generation plays the theater it needs" (Ecaterina Oproiu). We might think that the same happens when it comes to the acting methods by which dramatic artists study and create their characters. But can the energy and motivation of today's students be likened to the enthusiasm of the first generation of the Romanian section of the Szentgyörgyi István Theatre Institute? Were the first guides teachers or pedagogues? Starting from the theme of this year's conference and being in my first years at the department within the university, I stopped for a moment and reflected on the roots, the beginnings and, especially, on that triggering core. How do we relate today to that original and native motivation, faith, and generating energy? What was the impact of the Institute's Studio Theatre's appearance in the community and what role does it play today for the general public? What can we consider to be specific to the Institute and preserved today as a tradition within the University?
