Course contents:

In six three-hour lectures the following topics will be covered:

- Expanding previously acquired knowledge - particularly in the art of interpreting a text considering the directing task as material for „translating“ a two-dimensional text into the third dimension of the acting.

- Basic acting terminology and working with a directing. a glimpse into acting as a creative force - not only reproduction. Acting as an anthropological phenomenon. Some basic concepts of acting training.

- Casting as a part of creation and not merely a selection of actors and immature typology of placing actors into the perormance.

- Solidly effecting the development of acting from the Romantic period to contemporary and the sense of and reasons for development movements.

- Working with students on individual texts and exercises „Studio Acting Situations“ - access to the text, the vision of the scene, acting presumptions, analysis of characters and casting

- A part of the course is a group evaluation of exercises already recorded, of course, especially the optics of the acting and students with the actors.

The aim is an effort to maintain the character and advantages of the workshop-course as much as possible: Thinking out-loud & mutual discussions & listening & contact & ability to not corrupt others & to learn a dialogue & thinking as a process. Students are evaluated on workshop activity. If necessary, considering attendance, an interview or written paper on a given topic is possible.
