🔵 🔴 🟡 Course description

The course examines the role and potential of the performing arts (with emphasis on performance) as pedagogical and social tools for empowerment, self-awareness and expression in contemporary social reality, focusing on the stages of higher education and adult workshops. Through a theoretical approach, experiential learning and group discussions/analyses and laboratory experiments, students explore the integration of basic sociological theories into practical methods of teaching performing arts.
