Syllabus
In the last term of stage creation before the changeover to the simulated conditions of a school theatre, the student is led to maximum freedom of imagination based on his own particular, individual world view. The emphasis is on work with the most inspirational material possible from theatre and non-theatre sources. Work with a contemporary text helps with grasping theatrical procedures of the second half of the 20th century and the beginning of this century, when testimony about the world is often based on the repressed importance of active human action and bears witness to the feeling of the emptiness of contemporary values.
