The aim of the subject is to provide a practical working environment for the final verification of knowledge and skills, in which the student is mentored by the relevant tutor.

In the master degree, the artistic project provides added value in terms of the long-term sustainability of the artistic creation or output (eg hosting, participation in festivals, etc.), but in particular the implementation of the conclusion resulting from the process of organizing the project within the environment of an artistic institution.

  • The student is a part of the creative team (it is not possible to fix the model structure of the team - students, educators and professionals in creative positions are involved). This team creates theatrical production in a school theater environment that simulates a professional theater institution including organizational processes.

  • - publicly and repeatedly presented theatrical production, which is part of the public offer of the school theater in one season,
  • - project documentation including the process of creation and its reflection,
  • - public defense of the project and the factual performance of the student.
  • B. Artistic project of audiovisual, conference or event character
  • The student is a part of the creative team (it is not possible to fix the model structure of the team - students, educators and professionals in creative positions are involved).

  • The result is:
  • - a realized and publicly presented artistic project, such as an audiovisual work, a major international conference or an artistic event (street theater, big festivity, etc.)
