Course contents:

Theory and practice study in good bearing in theatre and non-theatre space environments and contexts.

In the third of the bachelor's study the selected instructor, primarily, helps with his empiricism, the student find their own theatre or artistic view and at the same time, with practical advice, in the implementation of the project that the student applied with for interdisciplinary study.

The study is experience with a mobile studio for various stage events and treatments.

For this purpose specific technical and instructional tools are formulated.

The anticipated group of students is to be a consistent group and the participation of all students in individually predetermined combinations of courses in the interdisciplinary study program is preferred.

The intention is to plan for longer than a theatrical production as well as other skills. Therefore, during study it is possible to meet with professionals and experts not only in theatre, fine arts, design and architecture but also sociology, medicine and religion.

The acquired experience in one's art project will be assessed in the teamwork in creating for a particular topic area. An inseparable part is the theory and practical continuity of knowledge in the project's creation.

Aspects of individual courses reflect one another and create the potential of the subsequent form.
