The BA in Artistic Studies-Performing Arts aims to provide university training, based on a historical approach to the arts and art criticism, and is founded on a contemporary theoretical perspective applied to the study of the arts. It seeks to compare different forms of art, namely cinema and audiovisual arts, performing arts (theatre, dance, music) and plastic arts. The goal of its study plan is to provide plural and solid training insofar as work techniques, research methods and the development of production and analysis skills enable students to respond to the new challenges in the field of the arts – thus assigning practice, research and theory their due role. Such an approach prepares students with vastly different expectations for a large variety of professional activities related to cultural inheritance and artistic creation and production.
