Exercises

Successfully completed the first year of full-time uniform studies in the Department of Stage Design.

Passing two exams in the form of theater etudes on a given topic.

Attendance in class. (Number of missed classes is 2 unexcused).

A credit for the course is given on the basis of the grades obtained from two etudes prepared by the student as well as on the basis of the evaluation of the student's activity in weekly talks and discussions on the etudes presented by others.

Evaluation criteria:

- intellectual and emotional value of the work

- authenticity and originality of expression

- impact on the audience - other students

- activity during discussions

- ability to cooperate in a group

The aim of the classes is to test in live matter, in conditions similar to theater, original ideas, projects and concepts that in other subjects remain only on paper.

Students experiment with matter, light and sound. Independently or with the help of other students they prepare short scenes on a given topic. The essence of the task is to convey the content of the topic, to evoke certain (assumed by the author) emotions, to make them reflect.

Each performance is accompanied by a joint discussion, which allows conclusions to be drawn about the degree of legibility of the message, cultural references, impressions, associations and thoughts evoked.

"Damy i huzary", "Dożywocie", Mąż i żona", "Pan Jowialski", Śluby panieńskie" - Aleksandra Fredry

"Calineczka" - H.Ch. Andersena

During the class, students independently choose the space they will adopt as their "stage" space.

Professional, artificial lighting with the possibility of adjustment and change is useful. Most often a completely darkened space is used, in which the light can be fully controlled.

For the discussion part, a room with a window and a table that comfortably seats 15 people is needed.
