Profile of the programme:

The programme trains highly qualified experts in four fields: Scenic Art and Theory of Scenic Art (Scenology), Alternative and Puppet Theatre and its Theory, Authorial Acting and Theory of Authorial Creation and Pedagogy; and the Theory and Practice of Theatrical Art. The programme is focused on acquiring and demonstrating an ability to perform independent theoretical and creative activity in the area of artistic creativity and public performance generally, as well as independent research, possibly applicable in pedagogical practice. The PhD programme at DAMU is focused on researching the general internal principles and processes of dramatic culture and creation, on the development of and techniques used in the creation of theatrical works, either in the works of other subjects (research on art) or in one?s own work (research in or through art).

Key learning outcomes:

The goal of the programme is to methodically develop one?s own research activities, whether independently or as part of a research team, and innovative approaches to practice in the artistic sphere which are combined with the ability to pursue research through art. The student?s own deep knowledge of artistic processes is connected with the ability to reflect.

Occupational profiles of graduates with examples:

Graduates of the PhD programme are highly qualified experts, creative personalities, usually artists and/or theoreticians, who are able to conceive of and realise research and artistic approaches which enrich and develop the field. Their research creates works which contribute to extending the limits of our understanding. Their contribution is often interdisciplinary; the innovative potential is contained in a direct link between their own creative work, including comprehensive reflection on it, and in finding creative applications for it in the artistic and social spheres.
