Arts media have gone through, in the last decades, stormy changes in relationship to new technology approaches and the development of multicultural societies. In this course structured lectures present defining currents of contemporary performing arts which exist on the border of graphic and theatre arts. As well students use this theory presentation to work on their own arts project focused on a site-specific or participatory intermediation in a public space. In the preparations of these projects students are acqainted with fundamental originator, curator and production procedures which characterize arts in public spaces.
