Course on video-preview and its interactive analysis introduces students to:
- a theatre-anthropological approach to theatre and its cultural-historical contexts,
- the founders of this concept (J. Grotowski, E. Barba, W. Staniewski, etc.),
- various types of this approach (creative, field, theatre worker and anthropologist theory, The International School of Theatre Anthropology and its collaborators),
- its significance for theatre creativity manners and the reception of theatre,
- overlaps with predecessors (theatre reformers of the 20th century, Artaud, Copeau, etc.),
- todays creators of the „third“, „anthropological“, „social“ world and domestic theatres.

- to introduce a range of tasks linked to this approach;
- to inspire students in their own original projects.
