The scope of this programme is essentially theoretical since it promotes dialogue with theatre practice, allowing students to gain practice in writing drama, production and stage management.
Contact with and immersion in theatrical life takes place throughout the course, through work placements in theatrical institutions, as assistants in production, on reading panels, in translating or adapting pieces for the theatre, in management, in technical management or in managing actors and so on. Not only does this provide students with hands-on experience but is also a way of entering the profession.
A cultural programme of different shows and events to see throughout the year as well as monthly meetings (opportunities for group discussion and debate), enable students to make links between the theory they have learnt, the practical experience they have gained and what they have felt as spectators ; in this way, they can hone their critical faculties.
