Area of Concentration: Performing Arts / Theatre
The area devotes itself to theoretical and/or practical studies of creative and pedagogical processes, and of critical and historical reflections, relating to skills and knowledge developed in scenic poetics and in traditional and contemporary expressive manifestations. Actions organized from notably scenic devices are investigated, actions whose approaches may favor notions of theatricality, spectacularity and performativity. The perspective of interdisciplinarity and dialogue between Theatre and other fields of human enterprise underpins and characterizes the relationship between the two research lines that compose this area of concentration.
