Course of action
The focus is on how, and by what methods and practices, the process of elaborating on a text by both actors and directors unfolds in terms of speech science. The project aims at using methodological approaches to working with a text, such as are found in today's German-speaking theatre, and at developing them so that in a further step they may be made useful in training student actors. This research project thereby complied with the requirement that study programs should be reviewed and reconsidered with respect to actual stage practice.
