Syllabus:

The subject of production work is the space for a practical examination and test of the director's and actor's approaches, with an emphasis on the individual creativity of students.

The first study phase addresses the ability, under strictly defined conditions, to realise a literary idea while emphasising an understanding of the basic relations that constitute a stage work.

This means understanding the meaning of a situation, acting in the situation, the relation between the whole and the detail etc. of great importance is an evaluation of the use of modes of expression.

Another study phase focuses on how the relevant dramatic text is realised (also for works of collective direction), emphasising the individual authorial approach while concentrating on the ability to communicate with collaborators in the work, above all actors and the director. The final study phase focuses on creating a true theatre production in the DISK theatre, with an emphasis on the work as a whole, a sense for team work and resulting reflections on the work.
