Contents
The course is designed as a compulsory elective subject for students who are interested in gaining a more detailed insight into the work of a scenographer, especially for puppet theater. This includes a deeper understanding of the specifics of the visual component of theater, including space, materials and their use, lighting, costumes, masks, and puppet design. The content of the third semester builds on the knowledge and skills acquired in the previous courses Scenography 1 and 2 and is closely related to the work on the final artistic realization in the main course Theater of Animated Forms 3. The aim of this course is, on the one hand, to lead students to accept their dependence on other components of production and, on the other hand, to bring new and inspiring solutions and resources. We strengthen continuity with modern visual art and its new space-time forms.
Mode of study: Individual consultations focussed on the development of stage design and visual form of the final artistic project combined with individual and independent work on assignment.
