Mutuazione: 20710328 TEATRO, SPETTACOLO, PERFORMANCE in DAMS (Discipline delle Arti, della Musica e dello Spettacolo) L-3 A - L GUARINO RAIMONDO

Programme

The course aims to offer a global vision of the historical development of European Theatre, through a series of close ups on themes and changes of its values and conditions, from Mediaeval culture to contemporary performance. The notion of cultural performance will be assumed as a key concept, in order to enlarge the horizon of the artistic and cultural values of theatre to other fields and practices of representation (Dance, ritual, celebration).
In its first part, the course deals with texts and contexts of books considered as groundbreaking sources for the theory and practice of the Western performer in 20th century (Artaud, Brecht, Grotowski).
In the second period, through the reading of Shakespeare's Hamlet, a focus will concern the dramatic tradition in European modern theatre.
In the final period, taking part in meeting and panels with operators, curators and performers, the students will share ongoing projects and current trends in Italian contemporary theatre

Mutuazione: 20710328 TEATRO, SPETTACOLO, PERFORMANCE in DAMS (Discipline delle Arti, della Musica e dello Spettacolo) L-3 M - Z SCHINO MIRELLA

Programme

Eleonora Duse. The course is focused on the situation of actresses in Italy between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, with particular reference to the case of Eleonora Duse. In the theatre of this period, unlike what happens outside the theatre, unpredictably women have autonomy of movement, can run companies, can be heads of companies, can be successful and be points of reference for the world theater. The course explores this theatrical anomaly.
