The course syllabus
Week 2 - A conversation about the theatre
Mapping the student’s individual relationships to the creative performing arts. Evoking substantial moments of theatrical-, film-, or any other performative acts, specifying their structure and dynamics.
Week 4 - Excavating and revealing the essential parts of one’s personality through movement on stage.
Existing in the theatrical space. Transforming everyday situations into dramatical scenes merely by presence and movement without words.
Week 6 - Obtaining one’s voice.
Building a soundscape to the situations from the previous class. Pair-, and group situation games still without words, but with the addition of articulation. Defining and setting the course assignment. Each student creates a short act about themselves.
Week 8 - Sign language.
Varying everyday situations using given vocal sound systems ( numbers, colours, words from poetry lines, etc.) to substitute speech.
Students perform their short acts, followed by analysis and further versions of the same act.
Week 10 - A flood of words
Gradually flooding the scenes from earlier classes with speech. Variations on certain topics from reticence to overburdening the situations with speaking.
Students perform their short acts, followed by analysis and further versions of the same act.
Week 12 - Preparing for the practice exam.
Combining the situations and methods practiced throughout the course via pair-, and group scenes. Students perform their short acts, followed by analysis and further versions of the same act.

Week 14: Exam performance. Evaluation.
Evaluating the exam and the course activities individually from the students’ and the teacher’s points of view.
