- Synopsis:
-
The subject focuses on theoretical and practical familiarization with the process of work as a director and on confronting the most important tendencies of modern and contemporary creative work by directors in this country and around the world. After theoretical mastery of basic terms and familiarization with key methodological procedures, studies are determined to an appropriate degree by preparation, continuous generalization and reflection on work on production tasks. Preparation develops mainly based on interpretation of literature for the theatre, and especially of drama, through which directing builds the means of the stage as an integral structure and specific system.
