Course objectives

Give students the chance to meet and work with a directing student or a professional artist (director or choreographer) as part of creating a production.

Learning outcomes

In addition to a strong commitment to the project, students are required to respond in writing to the creative process from an artistic, technological, and logistical perspective: describe the source of inspiration for the project, the script, and the artistic context of the invited artist, identify and analyze the stages of work and their role in the process (communicating inspiration, improvisation, composition, intention, dramaturgy, interpretation), analyze the roles of other artistic components of the piece and their incorporation into the process (lighting, sound or music, set design, working with the given performance space, collaboration with the theater and its facilities, public relations, etc.), analyze the role of production, division of functions within the group, analyze the role of the performer in the creation and their feelings during rehearsals, the premiere, and subsequent performances.

Syllabus

Create a full-length stage production under the guidance of a directing student or a professional artist. This project involves acting students, selected students from management, stage technology, lighting design, scenography, and audiovisual creation and theatre, and possibly also students from the directing and dramaturgy studio.

Teaching methods

The teaching takes place through practical project work in a creative team. The process is run like a professional rehearsal, premiere, and repeat performance with an emphasis on partnership, independence, and responsibility. After the premiere, there is a professional reflection, and after the final performance, the team evaluation takes place. The teaching approach emphasizes the connection between artistic and technological elements, conscious reflection on both the process and the outcome, and the ability to apply knowledge from previous lessons in a complex creative task.
