Tutor:
Jaroslav VOSTRÝ
Synopsis:

The seminar familiarizes Master's students of directing, dramaturgy, stage design, theory and criticism with the foundations of theoretical scenology and expands their experience with the stageability of a theatrical production leading to more cases of specific and non-specific stageable and staged expression and develping their awareness of the stagedness of a theatrical production on the basis of studying those cases and (in the case of directors, dramaturges and stage designers) in connection with their own work in the theatre.

Prerequisites:

A submitted term paper supported by an appropriate orientation in basic terms and problems, verifiable in discussion on various theoretical aspects and real cases.

Study Objectives:

The goal of the course is the anchoring (creating a theoretical foundation) of existing experience with practical and theoretical application of stage sense in conscious reflection on stagedness and stageability both in art and in life.

Outline and Syllabus:

Familiarization with the foundations of theoretical scenology is based on a term paper concentrating on individual problems relating both to actual stage experiences and current creative activity (directing, dramaturgy and stage design students) and the study of stageability and stagedness outside of the theatre and their relationship to theatrical stageability and stagedness and vice versa (for theory and criticism students). The term paper drawn from reflections (one's own or others') on a staged production (including outside of the theatre) is thus combined with term papers based on researching basic terms and problems. Within the framework of this research including of individual „case studies“ there is confrontation with spontaneous stageability and stagedness of various kinds of societal (political, sports, commercial etc.) activities, specific stagedness (i.e the stagedness of relevant artistic activities including the visual arts) with non-specific stagedness of ceremonies and non-artistic media productions, „acting in life,“ with acting on the stage, acting in a performance production, production with installations, „gesamtkunstwerk“ as the actuating of stagedness of elements of various arts with their theatrical transformation with the spectacle and stagedness of various artistic statements, the potential stagedness of a text with realized stageability of a theatrical production, live staged performances with recorded ones, the stage versus the media, performability, dramaticism etc.
