Abstract
This article describes an initial investigation into the influence of modern acting theory on the ideas and practices of contemporary performance teachers in Toronto, Canada. The study consisted of both a mail-out survey and an in-depth examination of the theory and practice of six influential Toronto acting teachers working in a private studio/conservatory context. While the paper reveals that performance teachers in this Canadian city utilize ideas and practices of such modern theorist/practitioners as Spolin, Brook, Brecht, Chaikin, Grotowski and Artaud in the classroom, the main focus is on the particular evolution in Toronto of Stanislavski-based approaches to actor training. Cet article décrit une première recherche sur l'influence de la théorie de l'art dramatique moderne sur les idées et les pratiques suivies par des professeurs d'art dramatique contemporains à Toronto, Canada. Cette étude a consisté non seulement d'un sondage par le courrier mais aussi d'un examen détaillé de la théorie et de la pratique de six professeurs d'art dramatique éminents de Toronto travaillant dans le contexte d'un studio ou conservatoire privé. Tandis que cette communication indique que les professeurs d'art dramatique dans cette ville canadienne utilisent les idées et les pratiques de tels théoriciens et praticiens modernes comme Spolin, Brook, Brecht, Chaikin, Grotowski et Artaud dans la salle de classe, le souci principal de l'auteur est de décrire l'évolution particulière à Toronto des approches de Stanislavski à la formation de l'acteur.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
