Learning unit contents
Analysing a performance is a specific challenge which goes beyond simple description or subjective commentary. It requires the development of a methodology allowing the multiciplicity of current aesthetics to be addressed, while retaining a certain objectivity. This is all the more true of the signs used in theatrical language, which was relatively hierarchical until the 20th century, but which today completely blurs all established boundaries. The structure of the character and the story, the role of space, the status of the text, the relationship with the audience ... all this transforms and gives rise to limitless experimentation of possible configurations.
How to read a performance? How to analyse the effects which it produces? The course will look at analytical tools which can be used in critical analysis through given performances. Video extracts of performances and the seasonal theatre programme will be used.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
The aim of the course is that students will become independent in their objective analysis of theatre performances.
