Annotation

The aim of the degree course is to familiarise students with the theory and practice of theatre and to enable them to reflect upon theatrical arts and processes and their cultural, intellectual and social contexts, from both theoretical and practical perspectives. The fundamentals, functions, aesthetics and historical forms of theatre and related arts are explored and tested from both a theoretical and a practical, artistic perspective. Students should be able to handle both pre and self-selected tasks in theory and practice independently and to set their own priorities during the course of their studies.
