Significant for my teaching is …
… to illuminate the close connection between art history and theatre history. This applies not only to the canvas painting since the Renaissance as a „stage“ for perspective (similar to the photographic camera), but also allows a bridge to be drawn from prehistory to the performative practice of the 20th and 21st centuries.
The theoretical hours at the centre are supplemented by excursions to museums, art halls and galleries.
