Students: Acquire a basic knowledge of the significant periods of the Modern Greek theatre, the interwar and post-war period. They are exercised in recognition of the important forms of theatrical art, and analyse their evolution. Recognize and describe the theatrical places, kinds of theatre, the methods of acting art, writers and the public and in general the conditions of theatrical practice. Alongside with the dramaturgical analysis of representative texts of the time students are in direct contact with the theatrical writing, writers and dramaturgical conventions of the time. Realize the continuity of styles and patterns and understand the relationship of the theatrical past and the present. They are exercised in creative scientific dialogue and realize their role in the social and historical contexts.
