Syllabus:

From the beginning the study process is built around the dual practical and theoretical elements of teaching. Emphasis is placed on students' authorial, creative and authentic approach to the study subject. The first year emphasises research into the possibilities of theatrical direction from literary authorial creation and its transfer to a theatrical form. At a theoretical level this involves the designation and development of a situation as the basic component of a stage production. Another phase of study focuses on searching for stage devices and their orchestration. At this stage it is essential to study and research acting possibilities, especially in a practical situation. From the beginning, students learn team collaboration with a dramaturg, fine-artist, and musician; in the third year this will lead to an ability to realise a theatrical production. Study shall include regular reflection on practical direction with an emphasis on the ability to precisely formulate and analyse individual phases of work on productions and study assignments.

Study materials:

Following the topical professional press (periodicals), visits to, and reflections on, first nights in theatres both in and outside Prague. Studying texts that deal with the question of the text and the prepared production.
