Details

The classic focal points of Theatre Studies (History of Theatre, Theory of Theatre, Performance Analysis) are currently being defined in the context of the following core areas:

• Theory and aesthetics of theatre in historical context
• Mediality and the public
• Methods of performance and drama analysis
• Dramaturgy in a present-day and historical perspective
• Processes of change in the relationship between theatre and audience
• Reception and performance documentation
• Theatre Studies from an integral perspective
• Relationship between theatre and other arts
• Development of the modern theatre
• Crossing borders between theatre, media, and other arts in modern theatre
• Theatre criticism
• Regional theatre

A long-term connection to modern theatre, especially to the theatre of the Ruhr (regional theatre), is a characteristic feature for Theatre Studies in Bochum. The emphasis has traditionally been placed on theatre and dance. Theatre Studies at the RUB sees itself as a chronicler of the regional theatre, with the ultimate aim being to provide a historical record of its achievements. From the beginning it has placed grat emphasis on the practical orientation inn the dramaturgical training of its students.
