METHODOLOGICAL PECULIARITIES OF DIAGNOSTICS OF PLASTIC EXPRESSIVENESS IN A STUDENT THEATRE GROUP

The article discusses the methodological features of diagnosing the plastic expressiveness of members of a student theatre group. The purpose of the study is to provide a theoretical basis and develop a methodology for diagnosing the plastic expressiveness of members of a student theatre group in the process of mastering the art of pantomime. The objectives of the study are: to explore the theoretical foundations of diagnosing plastic expressiveness, identify methods and tools for diagnosing plastic expressiveness, and study the specific features of organising diagnostics of plastic expressiveness in a student theatre group. The main hypothesis of the study is that the proposed diagnostic methodology allows for an objective assessment of the level of development of plastic expressiveness and the construction of individual trajectories for improving the participants’ performing skills. Research methods included theoretical analysis and generalisation, testing, control tests, and observation. The achieved results include a theoretical analysis of the structural components of plastic expressiveness and the criteria for its assessment. The study describes a diagnostic methodology that includes methods of pedagogical observation, specialised testing, projective techniques, and the analysis of creative sketches. Special attention is paid to the specifics of the diagnostic process organisation, taking into account the peculiarities of student age, academic workload, and different levels of motivation among participants. The necessity of a differentiated approach to assessing plastic expressiveness in an amateur theatre collective is substantiated.
