CONTENT, ASSESSMENT AND WORKLOAD

Content
  • Valid 01.08.2020-31.07.2022:

    The reading circle attendants navigate through a selection of texts that approach space and place from the perspective of spatial practices, spatial arts and performative space, as well as some of the key theories and contextualizations where space, place, site and spatiality play a significant role. The connection between the texts and the participants’ own artistic thinking and ongoing projects are analyzed and discussed further from the viewpoint of space as a theatrical medium and scenographic expression, and as an agency of spatial dramaturgy.
