Learning outcomes

The goal of this subject is to provide the students with relatively integral knowledge of important time periods and eras of world theatre evolution in the second half of 20th century. Lectures will cover the issue of post-world war Theatre in the half of the 20th century that we usually call the alternative theater or also "second reform of theatre". Students will gain a basic overview of how different theater morphed folders and work with them, the position of an actor, director and playwright. Part of the explanation is focused on cross-cutting issues (time and space, theater on the border with performance and visual arts, theater anthropology, Broadway and its off-off scenes, theater laboratories), part of lectures focuses on authors, producers and specific company (Living Theatre, Bread and Puppets, The Performance Group, Open Theatre, San Francisco Mime Troup, Teatr Laboratorium, Odin Teatret, Peter Brook, Richard Schechner, Peter Schumann, Robert Wilson, Jerzy Grotowski, Tadeusz Kantor, Arianne Mnouchkine, Eugenio Barba).
Student reaches orientation in the history of world theatre in the second half of the 20th century, knows important terms and names of the artists, will be able to characterize styles and genres of theatre of the period and understands the term "The second theatre reform" and its consequences for contemprary theatre.
