Syllabus

The uc has the void as a mote of topographical inscription; this means that the space / time of each session allows a progressive sedimentation of the propositions suggested by the students. The concept of medieval palimpsest thus emerges as a reference of pedagogical practice. The score is progressively constructed, little by little cut into its interstices, in a creative process whose matrix follows the expression of the deep motives found by the students in their relationship with themselves and with the world - leaving itself to fall from itself touchstone that they propose in the first sessions. The student expresses by the evolution of the score the points of intelligibility in the mapping of oneself as a theater maker. Since artistic news is a heterodox and unstable backdrop, he takes advantage of it in the excavation of a theatrical artifact, which serves as a fulcrum to the broader conception of "actor" which acts and also thinks and stabilizes the ossatura of the spectacle.

Objectives

It is intended that students construct a scenic score, verbal or non-verbal, understanding their training as an actor, not only as an interpreter, but as creator and organizer of the scenic materials. Conceptual and technical tools are available to create a scenic score of their own. The notion of experience, as a transgressor concept of a stabilized creative normativity, gives the student the opportunity to channel all his previous learning in the creation of the score. The purpose of these procedures is to raise the willingness to refer what it proposes in an open dialogue about the cultural scope of its proposals.

Teaching methodologies and assessment

The fifteen weeks of lessons, corresponding to the creation of the score, are divided as follows: 1,2 and 3 weeks: Presentation and discussion of proposals from the motto: what do I mean? 4,5,6,7,8 weeks: Working on the proposal in a score ¿verbal or non-verbal 9,10 and 11 weeks: Reference of each score in a multidisciplinary cultural framework. 12, 13, 14 and 15 weeks: Public presentation of the scores and critical debate. Assessment Method: The evaluation is continuous taking into account the evolution of the students and the work done by them during the teaching of the uc. The evaluation considers the following criteria: 1. Attendance and Participation 2. Acquisition of knowledge 3. Evolution 4. Participation in the workshop process 5. Capacity for reflection throughout the process 6. Quality of the final writing work The last two parameters constitute 60% of the final evaluation; the others, 10% each.
