Presentation

The current theatre scene offers a widely diversified map, where forms and aesthetics coexist, based on artistic choices and cultures. From the intercultural to the virtual, the post-dramatic to the performative, concepts multiply themselves in an attempt to explain practices that do not cease to overcome gender barriers, using dance, music, puppetry, as well as cinema, media art and the new technologies in order to renew their forms. Thus, we will try to understand the different aesthetic and ideological trends underlying the theatre’s current situation.

Courses carried out under the «KNOWLEDGEandARTS» as Research initiative

This is an initiative promoted by NECTS (Science, Technology and Society Research Group), aiming at the organization of a series of events focused on aesthetic-expressive activities/demonstrations (for the time being, with a scenic/performative/visual emphasis), among other knowledge bases.

This initiative is integrated within the diversity of debates incited by CES around the problematic of cognitive citizenship and cross-disciplinary/interfacial concepts of knowledge production and legitimation. Its main goal is to improve and diversify those debates, based on an integrated and involved experience, in order to facilitate the adequacy of formulation of results from certain Social and Human Sciences’ studies and their expression/communication, namely promoting the possible horizontality between experience, social change and corresponding analysis.

We also aim at fostering the base conditions for the creation of mediation, articulation and cooperation circles between fields of Knowledge, Culture and corresponding multiple modes of communication, mobilizing the different Sciences, Knowledge Bases (traditional/modern and computerized/manual), Arts and Societies as an educational project, for a creative citizenship, social change and social fairness-beauty.

The future program of «KNOWLEDGEandARTS» as Research, taking place between July and October 2010, will include an Internation Seminar  and the two above presented Advanced Training sessions.
