Course objectives
The subject of the Verse in Drama is designed for students of drama and dramaturgy. This is a seminar, which the content is not primarily the theory of the verse, but the practical familiarization with the process going on actor's interpretation of the dramatic verse. The aim of the course is to learn students of the dramaturgy and beside this to direct them (those for whom the "material of creation is actor's performance") have made their own "inner personal experience" with the interpretation of the dramatic text and have gained a deeper understanding of the verse of drama and the process of acting.
Learning outcomes
