Name of lecturer(s):

Jana PILÁTOVÁ

Learning outcomes of the course unit:

To teach the students careful reading and the search for relation of „theory“ to theatre practice. In connection with the previous interpretation course, this transitions from drama reading to reading about dramatics, theatre and theatre research. The changes in the function of theatre in various cultures and periods and in relation to those the changes in acting, theatre space, the director, drama and other participants in theatre. The changes in the concept of „theatre“ and other key concepts used to characterize these in theatre and theatre research.

Mode of study:

Based on one's study an assigned text for interactive development of a topic in a historic context. Sometimes with the help of video-recordings, sometimes, attendance at selected performances connecting the idea to the application.

Prerequisites and co-requisites:

Completion of the previous 2 years of Interpretation courses.

Recommended optional programme components:

Self-study and review of theatre practice, offered to colleagues. Potential for attempts at critiques of selected performances discussed in class.

Course contents:

The starting point is a given dramatic text and its detailed interpretation. From the oldest texts (Aristoteles, Bharata) to Diderot, Lessing and other classic authors we move towards modern theatre writers and reformers from the beginning of the 20th century and to the „second theatre reformation“ (Artaud, Grotowski, Schechner). This is the basic idea about the span and changeablility in the purpose of theatre and the contexts and results of those changes for theatre.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods:

Group attendance at selected performances and discussions about their production and context.

Assessment methods and criteria:

After the Winter semester credit is awarded based on class participation, attendance (75%) and oral course work, discussed in colloquium. The student will attempt to respond to questions formed by themselves; the response should be supported by a greater view of some covered topics (personality, examples, cultural surroundings), one's own study of the subject literature and complimentary samples in theatre practice (at best, in live theatre which they and other students know, possibly also video). After the Summer semester as well the type of written work and text is sent ahead of time so the discussion may be more specific.
