Syllabus
  • Students themselves will go through the process of creating a theatrical performance, which will be divided into several phases. The first phase bears the name "Harmonization", and it consists of necessary exercises to tune the group so they can work together. The second phase is titled Theme and Story. At this stage, exercises and techniques aim to find a theme or a masterpiece that we process into a structured scenario. The third phase ''Aid to an amateur actor'' deals with all sorts of theatrical means that help the amateur actor to perform convincingly. The fourth phase, ''The Rehersal'', focuses on fixation of the theatrical formation. The fifth phase is ''The Perfomance'' and its reflection. The output of this subject is a performance for the public. The goal is for the students to verify their work on the stage.
