The goal is to develop a specific and real professional career in the field of space design and management, through an extended way about scenography: from the city spaces to theatre’s stage, from landscape to digital environment.
The Master is structured on a multi-level didactic project, based on a close relationship between different topics and scopes, structurally linked together, through a research methodology that goes from general to particular, from open to closed spaces, from material reality to non-material of virtual reality. A didactic offer that has, as main goal, to give necessary competences for the conception, design and realization of spaces in-between the boundaries of Architecture and Theatre.
From a critic reading of social space, to the physical transformation of territory, theatre is used as a poetic instrument of knowledge, of participation and re-elaboration of matters that involve the city and its inhabitants; scenography is intended as an instrument to intervene on the reality, to make esplicit inner vocations, to show representative characters.
The master, with the help of experts in the fileds, is composed by theoric disciplines but above all, of practical experiences to be performed “on site”, starting from the city to theatre spaces. Through a continuos re-elaboration process, students will be able to build performative experiences putting together data, memories, ideas coming from the relationship with territory.
Students could define his/her ability to analize the urban reality and, at the same time, could improve expertise and knowledge of stage design: building a storyboard, use of lighthing, set construction.
Among master’s disciplines, will be explored sperimental sectors of multimedia and digital scenography, urban ecology.
The aim is to build an innovative professional career, that could operate in different fields by means of a peculiar cultural sensitivity joined by a solid technical knowledge:
A Set Designer profile, deeply involved in contemporary world, from most traditional approach to new technologies, where scenic space is considered as generator of the place itself and not of its illusion anymore; a scenographer that could works not only in theatre, tv and movie sets, but also within not conventional spaces and places for the performance.
A Urban Scenographer, that could act as interface between inhabitants and public governance to analyze, recover and reevaluate social and environmental critic zones; a professional that could interpret public places through their use/reuse in performing and communicative events and also to “read” landscape’s different relationships: cultural, relational and physical.
An innovative Set/urban Designer able to interpret urban contexts with an interdisciplinar approach, able to find new paths between lack of consistency in contemporary territory. To do this is necessary to build a knowledge of urban settlement and social behaviour, and also to be able to elaborate sustainable scenarios where inhabitants, communities and groups could recognize and mirror themselves.
Master combines theory with a fundamental applicative section, structured upon different experiences inside professional fields: an intervention on an urban settlement of Rome, in association with municipal government, inhabitants and publicprivate associations.
As a further step of development, students will be also asked to design and build an experience open to the public, valuing and evidencing what is hidden, what come guarded through the practical daily and what still is not space. Final event of master (the Diploma Thesis) will be “putting all together” the experiences made on the territory, through the development of a show inside a theatre space, taking advantage of the acquired competences in the field of the set construction and multimediavirtual technology.
For the deserving students will be held a stage in agencies, foundations and associations of the territory that have like objectives, the protection and the valorization of the cultural patrimony, architectonic and social.
The Master is an annual course, with approx. 1500 hours (60 credits), and will be held in Rome, at
the
Faculty of Architecture Valle Giulia; part of the lessons, seminars,
workshops and stages, will be held in partners’ facilities: theatres,
stage building laboratories, urban and landscape contexts, cultural
institutes, associations.
It is requested a frequency of almost 70% of master’s activity.
Language of master is italian and english.
On completion of the course of studies, considering attendance, the results of the course exams and the final exam, students will receive the Diploma of University Masters of I° level in Urban, Theatre and Digital Scenography” (60 credits CFU).
Listenerstudents after having attended the lessons and laboratory of their choosen Area, will receive a “Certificate of Attendance” released by the master Director.
