- Profil oboru:
-
The programme in Performance in the Theatrical Creation in Non-Traditional Spaces is focused on activities of a theatrical, performative and visual character, and is based mainly on interventions into public space. It involves the study of alternative theatrical tendencies of a crossover, interactive or multimedia nature. It is based on a tradition of site-specific projects, para-theatrical activities, visual installations, events and happenings. These interventions are intentionally not purely artistic, but have a significant sociological crossover and impact; they assume the activation of the viewer as well as imaginative perception. Projects emerge in close team and interdisciplinary collaboration. From the point of view of the wide palette of alternative theatre, it is a specific programme with many similarities to and many differences from the department´s regular offerings.
- Key learning outcomes:
-
A graduate of the Bachelor´s programme in Performance is equipped with basic psychosomatic proclivities and skills, is oriented in the issues of authorial theatre, and is able to establish contact with the viewer, space and objects. He/she is able to use his/her body as a tool of performance and not just as a psychophysical identity. He/she is oriented in the issues of contemporary post-modern art, and is capable of reflection and self-reflection. He/she is capable of independent, artistically demanding creation in solo as well as collective projects, and of using projects in social interventions. A graduate perceives artistic creation not only in the narrow bounds of his/her own work, but in larger societal contexts and developmental trends.
- Occupational profiles of graduates with examples:
-
A graduate of the Bachelor´s programme in Performance is capable of doing independent creative work in non-traditional spaces. He/she is capable of making use of grant space in the Czech Republic and the EU, of participating in public events and festivals such as 4 Days in Motion, etc., of leading thematic workshops and of working in the most variegated authorial projects, in the animative and participative programmes of museums and galleries, and at interdisciplinary symposia, festivals and events involving interdisciplinary and community creation. He/she should be able to realise these events in a creative manner as „turnkey projects“ (from formulating the intent, to project coordination, to the realisation and post-production work).
- Access to further studies:
-
The completed Bachelor´s programme makes it possible for the graduate to enter a continuing Master´s programme in related fields at university-level art schools or at related universities with a humanities or artistic focus.
- Examination regulations, assessment and grading:
-

Examinations are graded on the scale „A, B, C, D, E, F“.
