Course objectives
To acquaint students with the basics of management, the sense of managerial work and the roles played by managers in artistic institutions or artistic project teams. The goal is to go from a specific (self-management, family or a group management) to a systemic management concept (management in institutions and project management within institutions). Emphasis is placed on management in both semesters to prepare students for lessons of leadership in the next year.
The aim of this course is not to memorize a structured system of management theory but to apply selected principles and procedures that are useful for the theatrical production work.
Through the compulsory reading and reviews students are able to recognize gradually the difference between management and leadership and are learning to understand that the future leadership position is linked to the setting of inner environment of a leader, his/her ability to take responsibility and make the right decision at the right time.
