Course objectives
The aim of the lecture and the seminar is to connect knowledge from various areas of art (theatre, film, visual arts, literature, music) and to apply them in the analysis and preparation of individual cultural events (subscription concerts of classical music, rock and jazz concerts, film screening, theater productions), literary evenings, preparation of own theater Festival Na cestě, etc.). The subject is not only intended for the study of simple information and facts, students should establish cultural contacts within the region and beyond, follow the designated dramaturgy of the cultural project and, if possible, participate in its implementation.
