Course objectives
The aim of the course is to open the mind, emotions, creativity, artistic perspective, and communication skills of students to the world of free art, theory, and research independent of theatrical structures of the work. To performatively enrich the theatrical approach with other perspectives on the work, research, and familiarization with basic economic and artistic strategies for application in a contemporary structured society. The ability to create an original work that expands theatrical approaches and methods of art and performance. The subject maps the origin, process of creation and possibilities of presenting a work of art in an environment outside theatrical structures. It explores new technological and social practices in creation, discovers non-theatrical approaches to themes and practices that develop non-dramatic properties of the work. It verifies the possibilities of personal contribution in the exploration of new contents, forms and current knowledge in the artistic, scientific, political and spiritual approach to the body, corporeality, body and clothing strategies, new qualities of experiencing a character/persona on social networks, serial perception of reality, in gender, social, political-religious, ecological context. By exiting the portal, we reveal our own independent imagination, changing dimensions of the impact of our actions, the psychology of the crowd, street, corporate, wilderness, intimacy, commercial or conformal world in relation to current shifts in perception, experience, presence and presentation of oneself in society. The subject develops the possibilities not only of applying students in other fields but also of expanding the teaching content of JAMU (given the mediality and interdisciplinary nature of the subject, it is necessary to count on possible communication with fields within both faculties)
