Educational objectives

The course is dedicated to theatrical dramaturgy. We will not focus so much on aesthetic issues, in order to avoid approaches that tend to still too often define the theatrical text as a product, while the two aspects that we will highlight will be, on the one hand, the historical-contextual ones (historical context, organizational-productive, theatrical culture) and on the other, above all, a structural analysis aimed at highlighting how a theatrical text is made and why it works from a dramaturgical point of view, therefore with an attention (rare so far at least in the Italian context), for example, to the dynamics of protagonist and antagonist, objectives, conflicts, character transformation arcs and everything else that is at the basis of the process of creation and development of a dramaturgy, always with the awareness that the dramaturgical work is also a "craft" work, closely intertwined with the historical-cultural and economic-productive contexts in which it is placed, to the needs of the material theatre or the micro-society of the actors, characterized at the same time by practical action and thought.

Educational objectives

The course in Theatre Anthropology aims to provide students with theoretical and methodological tools for the critical analysis of the processes that characterize theatre anthropology, with particular attention to their historical and disciplinary contextualization. The teaching aims to bring out the complexity and plurality of the theatre phenomenon, explored as a place of relationship, creation and cultural reflection. Although not configured as an autonomous discipline, the anthropological approach to theatre allows us to address in an original and conscious way the multiple forms assumed by theatre making in time and space. It welcomes our inevitable cultural prejudices not as obstacles, but as an integral part of the cognitive process, helping to restore the richness and otherness of theatre practices, both historical and contemporary. Through the analysis of ancient and modern, Western and non-Western examples, the course invites us to question how theatre works: when, how and why it is activated as a cultural, social, artistic and symbolic device. The central themes of the teaching will be culture understood as a "refined way to exercise life" (Artaud), the body and the disciplines of the body, improvisation, the use of masks and the invention of characters, the evolution of the stage space, disguise, ritual, myth, investigated in their anthropological and performative value.

Educational objectives

The course aims to provide the fundamental notions on the relationship between digital technologies and the performing arts by expanding the perimeter of the narrative surface available today, between the possibilities but also the pitfalls of Artificial Intelligence and "new media".

The "performative" space of social media will be analyzed as an "interface" between the spectator and the performed narrative, analyzing some emerging cases. The intent is to draw attention to the gestation of a new audience that consumes a self-generating and uninterrupted performance. Through a visual analysis, the narrative codes inscribed "in the mirror image" of social media will be traced; in the background, the verification of the possibility or otherwise of the re-configuration of spectatorship and actorhood within online narration.
