Learning outcomes

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 in particular on exploring theatre arts in interdisciplinary, intermedia and intercultural contexts. It mainly reflects on recent foreign theatre-performative productions and seeks to characterize and contextualize them in relation to current theatre studies theories.
Upon completion of this course, the student will: - acquire terminology, basic historical milestones, personalities, companies and groups in contemporary Czech and foreign theatre, - acquire concepts for understanding and critiquing contemporary theatre culture, - they will be able to classify and explain the latest trends in various areas of contemporary theatre in the context of current developments.
