This course will lead the students towards understanding modes of presence that respond to posdramatric theater, what they are based in and how they sustain a dramaturgy through action and composition. Furthermore, they will be encouraged to identify the performative modes that appeal more to their own creative needs and to explore and develop diverse possibilities of body language. Performing with objects classes will study relationships among performers (human and non human) and will reflect on ethical observations that include the figure of the audience as a performer or participant in open performances.

Learning outcomes

Course graduate:

will cultivate the ability to respond to the dramaturgical needs of different contexts and concepts;
will be familiar with different performance strategies to define the role of the performer and the audience within the system of the performance;
will be able to perform systems using objects, space, materials as an extension of presence or as the performative presence themselves without performers interaction;
will acquire the skills to perform open systems that include the participation of audiences.
