Learning outcomes
Course contents
First module:
The course will investigate, by means of a preliminary
anthropological contextualization, the codification of theatrical
knowledge in Asia. In particular, the mechanisms of knowledge
transmission from master to pupil over the centuries will be
examined, and the consequent relationship between tradition and
modernity.
Second module:
The second module will be devoted to Japanese theater. In
particular, the aim will be to investigate the various experiments
that blossomed - and are still blossoming - from classical theater
like nō, kyōgen and kabuki. A specific focus
will be devoted to Zeami Motokyo, founder of the nō theater,
in the 650th anniversary of the birth.

Teaching methods
The teaching will be a balanced mix of theoretical and practical examples, in anthropological context, in order to allow all students to be able to reach the final target.
Assessment methods
During the lessons the lecturer will involve the students in an
active discussion of the lesson topics. The exchanges will be
addressed to bringing out any difficulties concerning the subject
matter, but not to actually forming part of the final mark.
The final exam will consist of an oral test. The exam will be the
chance for the student to prove his/her knowledge of the course
books. Students attending the class may refer their answers back to
the topics actually analyzed in class.
Students studying the course set books, especially the core text,
should pay attention to the fundamental aspects of the topics and,
of course, to the ways in which they are connected to one another
rather than to learn by rote.
Teaching tools
Dance performances videos relating to the topics presented during the course.
