Full description: |
This cycle of theatre classes has an interdisciplinary character. The main aim of these drama classes is to develop language skills on different levels, to broaden students' grasp of literary studies, and to increase awareness of one's body and of its role in the communication process. These objectives will be achieved through the use of dramatic texts and script analysis, as well as the aid of acting techniques, improvisation and diction exercises. In addition, exercises prepared in smaller groups aim to develop soft skills (communication, creativity and teamwork). To conclude the course "The Spanish Language and Stage Practice I" students will prepare a study (individually or in small groups). The texts will include poems and stage plays by Spanish-speaking authors and pieces by Polish writers translated into Spanish. The classes are designed as workshops, in order to improve skills which can be applied in professional work (e.g. diplomacy, teaching, commerce, tourism), and in official speeches and oral presentations, but they are intended to prepare students for a more conscious participation in culture as a whole, in addition to providing them with practical tools important in the job market. Detailed subject matter of classes: • Voice and diction • Emotions, body consciousness and stress • Improvisation and basic acting exercises • The diversity of acting systems: Stanislavsky, Boleslawski, Lee Strasberg, Grotowski • Acting essentials: concentration, affective memory, dramatic action, personalization, the skill of observation, rhythm • Script analysis • How the text transfers to the stage: analysis of the dramatic text as the starting point for work on the staging |
