The goal of the course is the conscious development (cultivation) of stage feel of directors, dramaturges, stage designers, theoreticians and critics with respect to grasping and forming a staged scene or dramatic situation. This involves both practical („instinctive“) application at the level of imaginative thinking and familiarization with relevant terms allowing reflection on relevant stage activities, necessary with respect to successful creation including in connection with possibilities for mutual understanding among the production team.

The 1st semester proceeds from simple static excerpts (scenes/tableaux) expressing a definite situation to their playing out in time and space. This playing out involves developing of students' stage feel, the decisive component of which is feeling for a spatial solution allowing relevant movement within a given arrangement, relying on awareness of the relevant „energy“ properties of each (stage) space. This stage feel is developed both from a visual (i.e. staged in the narrow sense) viewpoint such as that where the view of the director and stage designer encounters the view of the audience, and from the „internally tangible“ (i.e. dramatic) viewpoint that is decisive for the actual, conscious stage action (and for its experiencing by the audience). One might speak of an acting sense if it were not required of directors and stage designers as well as of authors and dramaturges and, to some extent, of critics and theoreticians as well. Clearly, the playing out of the given excerpts is based primarily on the developing of stage sense at the directing/stage design or dramaturgy level, and not specifically at the level of acting, although participation of students in all fields as actors is also important for real learning of the foundations of staging (i.e. knowing it from the inside). When conceiving and developing individual scenes, the students, alternating in different roles, also learn teamwork or the art of a creative production dialogue.
