Elective component
The purpose of the elective component is to support deeper investigations into specific aspects of the documented artistic research project. Through the elective component, the doctoral student connects with the relevant artistic field and obtains in-depth, up-to-date, specialist knowledge in areas pertinent to their research project.
The elective component may consist of elective courses, courses in higher education pedagogy up to 7.5 ECTS, individual reading courses or other creditable elements.
SKH offers the following elective courses that are open to doctoral students in artistic doctoral programs:
- Processes, Creation and Discourse in contemporary music theater.
Information regarding application/registration for available elective courses is regularly updated on this page.
Processes, Creation, and Discourses in Contemporary Music Theatre 7.5 ECTS
The course aims to provide advanced theoretical and practical knowledge and methods in contemporary, experimental forms of music theatre. The goal is to strengthen the students' own artistic practices and research through critical studies of creative processes, methods, concepts, and tendencies in the field. The course takes its point of departure in the concept of Composed Theatre which becomes a lens through which processes, concepts and discourses illuminate contemporary forms of experimental music theatre - from new opera to music theatre and radio plays. Students' own artistic practices and research are at the core of their studies during the course.
