Course contents

The Theatre Theoy course is devoted to an analysis of the particulars of the media aspect of theatre which the students are familiarized with as well as the fundamentals of critical readings of pivotal texts, primarily of the Czech post-Zich structural-semiotic school and a basis of analysis of exceptional contemporary Czech stagings. As well, the class offers students an incorporation of this knowledge into theatre theory abroad. The conclusion is to serve students as a greater understanding of Czech theatre theory terms (acting figures and dramatic persons, important education and technical presentation, theatre figures, intention and confusion, interpretation, components of theatre arts, directing and dramaturgy, artefact and aesthetic object and piece, originality, medial structure of a theatre act, rehearsal, etc.). Also, the course is to clarify the particulars of Czech thought on theatre.
