Course description
The conception of reality, as manifested in theatre and performance, is vitally and dynamically formulated by notions and models of space. Site, location, environment or landscape have become a polemic commonplace. Notions such as heterotopia, potential space, accumulative space and public sphere are shifting between fields of discourse. This course will be held as a selective journey integrating spatial readings of reality and their manifestations in theatre and performance, especially site-specific one. This contemplation will include several kinds of applications which are also research opportunities: institutional theatre buildings and other spaces of performance as social symbolic sites; dramatic and scenographic representations of place; and site-specific performances taking place either in institutional, public or domestic locations.
