Syllabus:
The purpose of this subject is not to cram students with dates, names and terms but for them to acquire knowledge which will not only guide them through the subject but will serve as an inspiration for future artistic work. For these reasons, the subject is not conceived as a summary of knowledge on directing as such but chiefly on directorial trends and directors with a close relationship and contact to alternative theatre. This explains the emphasis, for example, on Classical theatre, Romanticism, Symbolism and both theatre reforms of the 20th century, as well as non-European theatre sources. In this respect the question of theatre space and of acting is especially relevant and becomes an appropriate platform for clarifying the student?s own individuality in future artistic work. This is supported by an interest in other theatre forms such as the puppet, mask and last but not least the concept of ritual, which is still much used today.
