Objectives









ENG



This course aims to acquire a panoramic view of the history of theatre in Portuguese, from its emergence to the present times. It is intended that the student can: identify the most significant moments of this multifaceted History; understand and integrate its determining stages in the various contexts (social, historical, geographical, aesthetic and political ones) in which the texts emerge; acquire skills to understand some works representative of this path, in its dialogue with over time and space codes and, above all, with regard to contemporary theatre, with other artistic traditions. It is sought that the student develops a solid knowledge, supported by authors and authorities, enabling him to produce a critical discourse on theatre and dramatization in Portuguese language.


Learning outcomes and competences

This UC must familiarize the student with theatre concepts inserted in cultural systems (in different times and spaces of Portuguese language).

Consequently, this course presents a wide chronological space to be covered by students, which implies, for each point of the Program, the building of a “network”, which may sustain and contextualize the emergence of the various authors, works and trends, as well as the close dialogue between art and social, political, religious and artistic contexts. But also the geographical scope implies necessarily the use of fundamental texts from the Western matrix.

Given that the dramatic text only reaches its completeness when it is staged, students are encouraged to attend the theater whenever stagings that exemplify the chronological and thematic arc of the program are accessible to them, to allow the development of a critical spirit. Complementing this goal, the projection of recordings of performances will also be an alternative pedagogical strategy.

As far as possible, it is sought that students will produce and present works in these areas (even if they are not included in the program), covering other authors, interartistic practices and cultures that reinforce the consistency of their knowlodge and skills.

Teaching methods and learning activities









ENG



The teaching methodology is based on theoretical-practical classes and thus it oscillates between more expository classes (construction of the cultural framework of the theatre in Portuguese) and more practical classes (analysis of dramatic texts), complemented by tutorial guidance classes (where students respond to interpretative challenges of texts, aesthetics, authors and trends). By attending theatre performances and by the visualization of performances in digital support the students will understand the scenic mechanisms of the early centuries, as well as the trends and challenges faced by present staging, mainly of the classic authors.
