Applied dramaturgy

This course is a research project in its own right, focusing on live performance and creation. Part of the course is devoted to the poetic approach to texts and to questions of diction (how the application of the classical rules of phrasing leads to a first form of interpretation, independent of any psychological or narrative contextualisation), essentially in the French repertoire.
