Object - Mask - Puppet 2

Tutor:

Karel VOSTÁREK

Synopsis:

We live and move in a mass world in which we are a part. Every day we take to hand numerous things. It is all the same to us from what and why they are made, mainly when they „function.“ We don't occupy ourselves too much with what it is and that some are „closer“ to us than others. Perhaps we sense in many objects energy potential, a certain attractiveness and even memories which could tell us much about the world and us. Therefore we offer a journey on the road under the surface of our everyday view.

Prerequisites:

Interest in working with props and puppets, introduction to several performances in which props, masks or puppets are used. Active participation in course work.

Study Objectives:

The main goal of the course:

- Enter into the world of props and things.

- Provide students with a view into the world of masks in their entire history and breadth.

- Enable students to get to know the fundamental froms and types of puppets and their use.

The idea of the practice is primarily a joint quest for the place and sense of mass elements as bearers of significance and communication in behaviour - drama and a basic understanding and comprehension ov creative quality - aesthetic function in the theatre and drama.
