Students will learn the dramaturgic knowledge of puppetry in theory and practice by modern tales. They will be able to analyse and use the elements of text, puppetry, scenery and music together and separately. They will learn about the relationship between different modern tale’s texts and puppetry techniques and the dramaturgic consequences of puppet and human. The students will look after how the modern tale’s dramaturgy is working and what they can use on stage from it.
