Syllabus
Instruction focuses on the practical realization of a full-length theatrical performance with the use of the full range of expressive means. In their work the students must take into account the individual and shared themes of their collaborators, the context of the theatre, the context of the place and the context of the theatre's other productions. They learn the meaningful combination of the individual components of a theatrical performance through live communication with selected coworkers. They make a difficult, thematicized montage with respect to content and form with the use of full-fledged stage design, music and sound. They learn the right way to pace progress with work, the assigning of tasks to coworkers and communication with them. They learn the continuous seeking of form and the ability to develop the intended theme. They create an appropriate method of keeping notes and its organization and evaluation, and they make independent use of auxiliary literature, confirming their inspiration beyond the theatre in art and reality.
