Obsah

Different theatre praxes have been handling the representation of the self and the actor’s identity – mainly in relation to the role – differently through different epochs. The artistic self has been understood as e. g. a main source of knowledge, a mainly psychological entity to control, or as a social construction. Play is a concept and a practice that is closely related to acting and even seen as a base for theatre and role-taking in general. The course Self, Play and identity in Theatre is, firstly, aiming at widening the student’s insights into how different artistic traditions are based in a philosophical, ideological and societal worldview. Secondly, the course’s goal is that the student can present and communicate how the different traditions investigated, are connected to her/his/their own praxis.

– show an ability to discuss and critically use the concepts discussed during the course, in relation to theatre aesthetics, such as authenticity, self-expression, play and identity.
