This course aims to provide students with tools of theoretical and historical knowledge concerning artistic, social, material and relational aspects of theatre arts, in the broader sense of the performative dimensions of human behaviour. The central objective is a wide and inclusive knowledge of the past and present of the scenic arts, oriented to enable the student to recognize, to experience and to activate creative processes, research actions and skills of practical organization within the horizon of performing arts. The first part of the course provides direct approaches to texts, profiles, documents and phenomena that during the last century changed the notion of theatre and transformed traditions, skills, values, concepts and terms of the theatre practices. In the final part the course will share materials, documents, meetings and fieldworks, in order to orientate the students to take part in ongoing projects of their cultural context.
