The course curriculum consists of questions for the Master's examination on history and theory of drama theatre formulated so that they should lead to brief comment supplemented with specific examples; this should be based not only on knowledge learned, but also on thinking over one's own experiences from Stage Creation and practice in productions.
1. Dramatic (stage) art with respect to its cultural, aesthetic or psychosocial function; dramatic art in the tradition of Western (Occidental) and Eastern (Oriental) cultures.
2. Drama, dramaticism, the dramatic; the theatre: an institution, building, ensemble, operations, way of communicating; Dramaticism and theatricality (stagecraft): drama and the theatre (stage), theatricality and the spectacle, stagecraft and theatricality, the external and internal, obvious and hidden.
3. Played („staged“) in life and the art of acting (on stage or dramatic); Mimesis: (dramatic or staged) art as image and expression.
4. Types and genres of dramatic (staged) art with respect to supply and demand; Types and genres of dramatic (staged) art in connection with their components and usual or possible methods of their arrangement.
5. Relationship of the stage and the audience in a mirror of (realized and possible) transformations of theatrical space.
6. Acting between the delivery of a role, comic production and self expression.
7. Classicism, romanticism and realism: attitudes and styles, periods and tendencies, general cultural sources and local period phenomena; Archaic (traditional), modern and contemporary (postmodern): eras, attitudes, art; Techné and enthusiasmos: prerequisites and specific features of the creative process in dramatic art and its imaginative and intellectual aspects, intuition and craft, convention as a condition for and obstacle to creation.
8. Dramatic art and development of the media
In connection with the main courses, in the case of this seminar it involves, besides an opportunity to supplement and expand one's knowledge with respect to history and theory, also the opportunity to confront acquired knowledge with practical experiences gained in earlier study and first contacts with practice.
