ABSTRACT

The paper examines the achievements and limitations of the action analysis debate that has taken place between the old actors and the young since the North's theatrical community fully embraced the Stanislavski system. The dispute over how and when to learn the lines at the venue of the performance exercise. The established actors used to practice their acts after completing their accents beyond memorizing their lines at the table practice stage. With the introduction of the system, the mechanical propensity of the lines of established actors became more prominent and action analysis became popular as a way to solve them. However, without recognizing that the internal psychological action analyzed at the table practice cannot be corrected at the actual exercise stage, the subtext set at the table practice merely establishes a mechanical relationship to be implemented as an external physical action in the exercise. These limits mean that the nature of action analysis is mistaken. As Kim Jong-il began to oversee party's literary and artistic policies in the mid-1960s, the Soviet study group that propagated the action analysis method was excluded from the theater scene, and the North Korean play would face a drastic change with the ‘Sunghwangdang’ style Revolutionary Drama, the Stanislavski system would disappear.
