Studying and Making Theatre in Prague
The Theatre Faculty of the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague (DAMU) is pleased to announce its third annual summer theatre school. Courses are in English and will take place at DAMU, located in the heart of Prague’s historical center.
The Prague Summer Theatre School (PSTS) provides theatre students and practitioners with a diverse, hands-on immersion in the principles and practices of authorial and alternative theatre forms, puppetry, set design, and mask making & performance.
The PSTS is rooted in the Czech Republic’s long history of puppet and object theatre, innovative set design and its unique contributions to small-forms and authorial theatre since the 1950s.
Experience the Theatre Academy in English
The PSTS is an excellent way for non-Czech speaking students to acquaint themselves with DAMU, especially for those who may be interested in applying to its Erasmus program and/or the M.A. programs in English. University students interested in obtaining credit for the coursework may do so. The PSTS can also benefit professionals who are looking to diversify their practice. Access to the school’s theatrical and technical facilities (theatre and rehearsal spaces, internet) is included.
A Diverse and Expanded program
This year’s PSTS features an expanded program of two and three week courses in authorial and alternative theatre forms, (Inter)acting with the Inner Partner, puppetry, set design, and mask making & performance. PSTS students will attend performances with DAMU staff at local venues in order to experience Prague’s theatre scene. Please see the Course Descriptions link on the left for more information.
Applying to the PSTS
Applications are being accepted from January 9th to April 30th, 2012. The PSTS admits qualified students on a first-come, first-served basis. Early applicants may receive a tuition discount.
