The Theatre and Education Studio (Ateliér Divadlo a výchova) offers academic courses reflecting current trends and demands in audience development. The programme Theatre and Education thus includes specialised modules combining the theory and practice of education in theatres – Workshops on JAMU Productions (for Bachelor students) and Theatre Project – Audience Development (for Master students). Graduates who complete these modules are well-oriented in the field of theatre education and understand its role in the broader context of audience development. They can develop, apply, or adapt appropriate formats of audience development events and lead workshops about particular productions. The modules include practical training and illustrations of audience development at Czech theatres.

Theatre and Education graduates can design a curriculum for a chosen audience group or institution. They are able to lead a group of non-professionals in devising an original collective piece. They also have a basic understanding of arts management, complemented by real experience with organising a theatre festival or a non-professional competition. They possess a complex skill set in art and education qualifying them to become theatre educators at professional theatres.
