Course contents:

Arts media have passed through, in the last decades, stormy changes in relation to new technology procedures and in relation to the development of multi-cutlural societies. In Alternatives of the 21st Century structured lectures will present particular currents of modern performing arts which move on the borders of graphic and theatrical experssion. As well, with this theory presentation students will develop their arts projects focused on site specific or particpatory intervention in a public space. In preparation of these projects students are introduced to the basic writing, curator and production procedures, which is characterized by artistic work in a public space.

Acquired experience in one's artistic project will be assessed in team work for a topic area. An inseparable part is theory and practice continuity of knowledge in creating the project.

Aspects of individual courses are used and create potential for the resulting form.
