Contents
The seminar is aimed at teaching the student how to conceptually develop the theatre performance and to describe it in the form of a director’s copy. Final semester work is oral and written formulation of the staging concept, its presentation and defence.
The aim of the course is to develop various narrative procedures that represent ideas proposed by students in the form of communication. The course also includes work from the idea itself to its implementation, as well as the relationship between the chosen narrative strategy and the content of the literary work.
The course combines individual and group work by the student, which requires the confrontation of the ideas of individual course students. The main aim is to develop the dramaturgical skills necessary for the creation of an original work and adaptation and to prepare the basic principles for a graduation performance.
