KLS 3543 Performing Arts and live culture - RE-SIT EXAMINATION
The course was taught for the last time in fall 2018. Last re-sit examiniations will be offered in spring 2019, autumn 2019 and spring 2020.
The performing arts are created before a live audience and are often referred to as the art of the moment. Theatre, dance, music and opera are regarded as performing arts. The course covers everything from the most experimental to the most commercial areas of the industry – from contemporary music to stand-up comedy. Music is limited to classical music played by live orchestras or ensembles in concert halls and similar arenas. While we are seeing more and more activities becoming digitalized, interest for experiencing culture in live performances is just as intense as it has been in past times. This industry’s central focus on live performance nonetheless poses a number of financial, market-oriented and organisational challenges which the course will look more closely at. During the course, students will also train their skills in orally presenting a message to an audience.
Students will obtain knowledge of the performing arts’ history and characteristics. They will also develop insight into relevant value chains and major players, economic and organisational issues and issues regarding financial support, as well as political framework conditions for the performing arts. Moreover, students will analyse characteristics of the different areas of art embodied in this industry, for example, theatre, opera, dance and orchestration.
Students will develop skills in gathering and working with information on economic, organisational, cultural, and political aspects of different areas of the industry. Students will work in groups, to develop proposals for solutions to economic, organisational, cultural and political challenges in concrete cases with a common starting points of general insight into the industry. Students will develop skills in presenting material orally.
Through different learning processes in the course, students will develop respect for artistic attitudes and values in performance activities. Students will develop ethical awareness and a professional attitude in working with cultural organisations that do not necessarily have commercial motives for their activities.
