Course objectives (in Czech)
The main idea is to create a cooperative group of students in different fields of the performing arts who will, together with the main teacher and in co-operation with classmates and teachers, produce a piece of theatre comparable to a professional theatre production. The other priority objective is educational, of course; the complex process of learning – theoretical as well as practical – and theoretical concepts are of equal importance. Each semester is a unique educational and production project, focused on a particular universally understood topic. The dramatic text might but must not be a starting point, because various theatrical genres, styles and poetics are chosen as topics, including non - verbal, physical, visual, fine arts and musical. The topic of the project might also include particular historical poetics or approaches to theatre. Students get a chance to do it through a complex process consisting of reading, commenting and discussing written works by theatre theoreticians, practising exercises arising from this approach and implementing chosen approaches into the process of production. Each performance project is carefully prepared for a particular group of incoming students, taking into account their fields of study, levels and experience.
Teaching methods (in Czech)
