Course contents

Study of the practice and theory of orientation of space in theatre and non-theatre environments and contexts.

In the three year bachelor's study the selected instructor primarily helps with their empiricism the student to find their own theatre or graphic view and simultaneously is a practical advisor in the execution of the project which the student is working on in the interdisciplinary study.

The study is experience in practice, a mobile studio for various stage events and treatments.

For this purpose the specific technical and teaching equipment is formed.

The anticipated group of students should be a consistent group and attend all calsses and individually predetermined combination of course in interdisciplinary education programs.

The intention is to surpass theatre to other professions and skills. Therefore, during study it is possible to encounter trades and professionals not only in theatre, graphic arts, design and architecture but in sociology, medicine and religion.
