Course contents
The elective course Theatre Theory for continuing master's study at the Dept. of Alternative and Puppet Theatre is devoted to an analysis of the particular media aspects of theatre ans is to clarify to students the uniqueness of Czech thought on theare in relation to their own creations. Students are familiarized with this through critical readings of pivotal texts, primarily the Czech „post-Zich“ structural-semiotic school and an analysis of exceptional Czech stagings, which they view in the course (incl. selected DISK stagings and their own works). As well, the course offers students and integration of knowledge into the context of theatre theory abroad and theory of art (performativity E-F. Lichte, post-drama theatre H.T. Lehman, etc.) The conclusion is to serve students as a greater understanding of the subject of their study and its further research in their own practice.
The classes take place roughly once every 14 days and will be either a viewing of performances or, possibly, a critical analysis of texts in a non-formal extra-curricular space at a time which all can attend.
