Course contents
The course provides a theoretical and practical introduction to how aesthetic theatre strategies and tools are applied to educational, social, therapeutic or popular cultural purposes outside the theatre. The course provides students with experiences of participatory and creative work in a variety of fields. Students will have the opportunity to meet professionals who apply their theatre professional expertise outside the theatre and will become acquainted with selected projects and collaborators (with the opportunity for internship/ placements). Students will also develop smaller projects of their own with different production frameworks, partners and target groups. Ethical requirements and relevant guidelines will be communicated and discussed. Students will develop the ability to integrate ethical perspectives and dilemmas into the practical work. The course is practical in nature, with theoretical material linking to the various practical activities. Theatre terminology, theory and methods will be presented and addressed in a way that allows students to reflect on their own and the projects of others.
