Course contents:

This study is based on the blending of practical and theory. Emphasis is placed on an original, creative approach to the field. In the first phase attention is focused on the basic concepts such as drama situations and acting behaviour in it, plot, motive, topic, situation composition and the time-space treatment (mis-en-scene). Then student attention is focused on acting and performer issues, time and rhythm in theatre, editing and assembly, improvisation and the original concept of theatre. The following is teamwork with the dramaturg, set-designer, music director, light-designer, choreographer, etc.. The entire bachelor's study moves towards directing and its review, and potentially preparations of the concept of the future master's study.
