Teaching methods
Students will use the methods of theatre studies and a wider concept of theatre as a “cultural model” (E. Fischer-Lichte) that works with terms and aspects as show, actor, reception, participation, role, scene, mask, costume, repertoire, scenario or arrangement. This method will be supported by qualitative methods of ethno-methodology that rise from the work by E. Goffmann The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life, and oral history (interviews with participants).
Assessment methods
3 studies on 3 public events as students will choose
