1. GENERAL INFORMAT ION
The Erasmus Student Exchange Programme “Bridging East and West” (BEW)
aims to create a space for artis tic and educ ational exc hange between European
guest students and the specific s urroundings of a Central European cultural
tradition and atm osphere. By im plem enting m ethods and experiences of Czec h
cultural prac tic e in an internationally oriented artistic teaching process, the
“Bridging East and West” programme is designed and developed within the
process of c ollecting c ontributions from students of European th eatre sc hools ,
constantly analysing their inputs, needs and preferences and framing them in the
wider context of a Central European his tory of ideas and artis tic uniqueness.
As incoming students do not have a sufficient knowledge of the Czech
language to follow course s together with JAM U students and their level of
skills and knowledge may be different, BEW has been established in order
to cre ate a performance proje ct realized by international students, who are
not integrated into faculty departments due to high number of incoming
students that our faculty rece ives every se mester.
The project is held during the winter and summer sem esters for the following
study spec ialisations of theatre s tudies:
Study specialis ations at bac helor’s and m aster’s level fr om which applic ations
for Bridging East and West are invited:
 Drama Ac ting
 Mus ical Acting
 Theatre Dram aturgy and Direc ting
 Radio and TV Script and Writing
 Stage and Cos tum e Des ign
 Theatre and Educ ation
 Physic al Theatre
 Theatre Managem ent
 Stage Tec hnology
 Danc e Pedagogy
 Drama in Educ ation for Deaf

 Audiovis ual Creation and Theatre
We also have a Ph.D. programme in the Cz ech language for students doing their
researc h in the following areas: Acting, Directing, Dramaturgy, Scenography,
Theatre Managem ent and Theatre and Educ ation. For Ph.D. students an
individual res earch programme can be agreed for exchange purposes .
STRUCTURE OF STUDY PROGRAMME
The foundation of the exchange study programme is c ompos ed of the following
bas ic c ourses:
4
1. Performance Project . We intend international students to cooperate with
their Czech c ounterparts by working on a performanc e project and to explore
the param eters of the theatrical operational milieu.
2. Brno Theatre Map (former Researc h Project). We wish to give to
international students a poss ibility to explore different kinds of Brno theatre
and to provide bas ic information about the Czech theatre.
3. Czech for Foreigners . Each s emester two or three levels are open – Cz ech
for Beginners, Pre-Intermediate and Intermediate level.
Based on student demand and the study plans of partic ular BA/MA s tudy
programmes , other subjects of possible benefit to eac h s tudy s pecialis ation can
be opted for. (Please s ee the chapter Subjects offered according to s tudy
spec ialisation.)

3. PROGRAMME DESCRIPTION
3. 1. Performance Project
Type of le cture : workshop
Seme ster: winter, s ummer

Objectives
The main idea is to create a c ooperative group of students in different fields of

professional theatre production. The other priority objective is educational, of
cours e; the c omplex process of learning – theoretical as well as practical – and
theoretical c onc epts are of equal importanc e.
Each semes ter is a unique educational and production project, focus ed on a
particular univers ally understood topic. The dramatic text m ight but must not be
a starting point, because various theatrical genres, styles and poetics are
chosen as topics, inc luding non-verbal, phys ical, visual, fine arts and m usic al.
The topic of the projec t m ight als o include particular historical poetics or
approac hes to theatre. Students get a chanc e to do it through a complex process
cons isting of reading, c ommenting and discussing written works by theatre
theoreticians , practising exerc ises aris ing from this approac h and implem enti ng
chosen approaches into the proc ess of produc tion. Eac h performance project is
carefully prepared for a partic ular group of inc oming s tudents, taking into
account their fields of study, levels and experience.
Require ments
Experienced s tudents (at least 2n d
year of study)
Study Method

used. The fruit of this projec t will be a public performanc e at the Theatre Fac ulty
