Teaching method

The aim of the course is not to cover all theories and domains, but rather to give students a working method and research skills to acquire new knowledge, and the critical concepts to tackle their own job in their own way. Performing arts will be addressed in a pluridisciplinary fashion, via dialogue with disciplines which analyse theatrical creation according to their own point of view: playwrighting, sociology, psychology, history, aesthetics, law, management, etc. Emphasis is placed on individual research and work, communicating knowledge and sharing results. Within a programme of a reflective nature, we will focus on dialogue with the theatrical practice, via the analysis, beyond literature, of the many facets of performance, by encouraging individual written work, games, producing, directing, scenography, multi-media, etc., and finally giving the student real life work experience through internships or giving them the chance to create their own work in cultural institutions.

Evaluation is consistent in its diversity: written or oral exams, continuous marking, presence and participation in courses, individual written or oral work, file and interview for internships, continuous assessment, marking of progress made in research methodology.

Courses are evaluated according to current university regulations (see General Examination Regulations). Students may find further information on specific evaluation methods in the course descriptions.
