The course makes the student
capable of mastering the subject matter (knowledge) in order to use and apply it in other areas of
study as well, with the correct use of the technical-specific language of
reference (skills).
In application of the Dublin descriptors the course:
1. provides students, most of whom have already
studied Disciplines of Performing Arts, with tools for in-depth historical-critical
and thematic-methodological study around the new forms of digital performance,
with specific references to the concepts of intermediality, remediation and
theatrical cinefication.
2. develops his/her autonomous ability to relate what
he/she has learned to other art-historical disciplines;
3. it enables him/her to use the knowledge acquired
and the specific language learned for so-called ‘transversal skills’ (autonomy
of judgment, communication skills) and to develop them both in the analysis of materials
covered in class and in the reading and interpretation of new texts.
The first lessons (about 20 hours) will be dedicated
to explaining and analysing the contents of module A. The others lessons will
be dedicated to module B and thus to an in-depth study of the direction
intermedial practices, in live cinema and chroma key, of Motus.
To enable students to acquire the methodological tools
necessary to analyze the performances discussed in classroom, films and videos
related to some of the case studies contained in the texts in the program will
be projected and commented during the lessons.
Students will also be invited to view performances in
city theatres.
MODULE A Theatre, media, liveness (3 ECTS)
This module describes the relationship that theatre and performing arts
develop with current digital media. Concepts from Media Studies such as
intermediality, remediation, cinefication will be placed in relation to
theatrology and specific issues related to it, such as liveness, the
relationship between real and virtual space, augmented reality and interactive
spectacularity, in order to
understand with what theoretical-methodological tools it is possible to analyze
the multimedia performance.
MODULE B Theatre in live cinema and chroma key
(3 ECTS)
This path serves to clarify, through the viewing of Motus’s intermedial
directions and the study of scientific contributions related to them, the forms
of theatre characterized by the use
of electronic technologies and expressive styles, such as live
cinema and chroma key, from cinema and digital media.
