Learning outcomes
The seminar will be led by Ján Šimko, theatre theorist, radio and theatre dramaturg, director, and author, Head of the Department of Theatre Studies at VŠMU. He is the author of numerous productions (Petržalské příběhy, Steel My Heart, Private Streets, Atlas předsudků, Plzeň 1953, České porno), collaborates long-term with Czech and Slovak stages, and translates contemporary drama (Ravenhill, Crimp, Pollesch). The seminar is an analytic-practical guide to dramaturgical adaptation of a dramatic text for radio. It draws on theoretical approaches to drama as well as on the practice of radio dramaturgy and directing. Participants will acquaint themselves with the principles of translating a stage text into an acoustic form (composition, rhythm, narrative perspective, spatiality and sound sign), acquire methods of analytical reading and dramaturgical adaptation, and then critically compare their proposals with a professional realization presented in the Prix Bohemia Radio programme. Emphasis will be placed on transparent argumentation of dramaturgical decisions, formulation of an adaptation concept, and reflection on the text-sound-listener relationship.
Upon completion, students will be able to: - apply advanced methods of dramatic text analysis with regard to radio as a medium; - design and clearly justify a dramaturgical adaptation for radio; - distinguish and critically evaluate key elements of adaptation (commentary, sound architecture, vocal work); - formulate a concise dramaturgical concept and defend it in scholarly discussion.
Prerequisites
The course will be taught in Slovak and/or Czech.
