For a History of Theatre Education in Galicia. Basic features

Abstract

In the making and development of any of the systems of the cultural field, there are institutions which are very relevant, as far as the whole process depends on them. In the case of the theatre system, those institutions oriented to the training of the agents of the system are especially important, and among them we must consider the theatre schools which offer different types of courses and qualifications, with a different degree of formalization, although the field that theatre education covers is much broader. This paper, which has been written under the framework of the History of Theatre Education, offers a general view of what have been the most popular issues in theatre education in Galicia in the past and at present, and at the same time shows the richness and possibilities of this new area of study.
