The concept poeisis is a term from Ancient Greek and means to produce or create something, which did not exist before. This course focuses on examining the link between artistic creation/production and words as the raw material of creation. We work with poetry, playwriting, recitation/performance, and linguistics under the direction of teachers, who work with these areas in different ways.
Learning and teaching approaches
The approach used is workshop-based teaching with exercises, discussions, lectures and presentations.
