Head Teacher: Mgr. Lukáš Kubina, Ph.D. The lecture series focuses on the most current trends in contemporary theatre practice, as well as on key themes and issues explored in contemporary theatre studies. Emphasis is placed especially on exploring theatre art in the context of interdisciplinary, intermedia and intercultural overlap. It mainly reflects on the latest foreign theatre-performative productions and forms of their reflection and seeks to characterize and contextualize them in relation to current theatre theories.
Upon completion of this course, the students will: - acquire knowledge of the terminology, basic historical milestones, personalities, and groups in contemporary Czech and foreign theatre; - acquire knowledge of the theoretical concepts related to the contemporary performance culture; - be able to classify and explain the latest trends in various areas of contemporary theatre in the context of current social and political tendencies.
