Course objectives
This subject is outlined as a one-term-project concluded by a realization of Theatre Fórum in a chosen basic school. The Theatre Fórum occupies with problematic topics /e.g. bullying, smoking .../ and theri solutions. Students get to know various exercises, techniques and games, which are used in this typa of theatre. With the help of these techniques they work on their chosen problematic topic.They create a dramatic story with a bad ending. This story is performed in front of pupils whose task is to help with the principal protagonist. The Theatre Fórum leads the audience to consciousness of being able to influence what is happening around us, at least until certain point.
