Héctor Mendoza, the Continuator of the Stanislavski Method in Mexico

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to understand the methodology of the Mexican theatre teacher Héctor Mendoza. Theatre pedagogy had a vast development during the 20th century and the legacy of Konstantin Stanislavski had repercussions in various parts of the world where followers of the Russian teacher continued their research. It was in Mexico where Seki Sano, an exiled Japanese teacher, created a realist theatre school. His student Héctor Mendoza Franco gave continuity to these teachings and created a system that would have repercussions for posterity. As a trainer of countless generations, among his disciples we find directors Luis de Tavira, Germán Castillo or Ignacio Escárcega, and actors and actresses such as Ofelia Medina, Julieta Egurrola, Blanca Guerra, Sergio Jiménez, Margarita Sanz, José Alonso, Héctor Bonilla and Humberto Zurita. During his professional career Mendoza developed an acting methodology inspired by Konstantin Stanislavski, which he presented in five works: Actuar o no, La guerra pedagogico, Creator principium, El burlador de Tirso and El mejor cazador, which premiered in 2005. He was the author of more than 45 plays and director of more than 70 productions.
