Course contents
The starting point of the course is the reading of selected dramas with attention to not only the content but also the structure, dialogue structure, chronotope and genre. A subsequent detailed analysis opens various possible interpretations. Completing the process is a gradual investigation of one's own interpretation, projected onto a dramaturgic-directorial concept which acquires a particular form including the casting. Work during the course proceeds in the following stages:
- Reading a drama: students need to be instructed in noticing individual drama situations, recognize their motivation structure, dialoge structure, writers work with the chronotope, manner of presenting individual figures and the genre mood.
- Detailed analysis of individual drama situations opening up various possible interpretations.
- Subsequent consideration of various possible interpretations in the context of the whole play.
- Accenting individual significances and motives and the need for dramaturgical modifications arising from them.
- Creation of the dramaturgy-directing concept of a text, and not from preliminary speculations.
- Investigating potential of how to implement the dramaturgy-directing concept.
- Considerations of the spatial treatment.
- Variations in casting.
- Hierarchy of individual elements and production rhythm.
