Teaching Methods
The teaching methodology is fundamentally theoretical-practical in nature, involving reading and critical commentary of texts, as well as regular and intense analysis of recorded and live shows. A wide range of media and document files will be used in this class, with special attention to photo archives and video files. Students will take an in-class written exam. Students must submit at the end of the semester, a small case study devoted to the creative goals of a company, thus confronting the various issues convened by theater studies.
