DAMS - Audiovisual and theatrical production (L - 3)

The Bachelor's Degree in DAMS - Audiovisual and theatrical production is aimed at students who aim to acquire and practice high-quality skills in audiovisual media and performing arts, and choose to specialize in the culture and practice of film and theater in the Italian and international context.

The students can customize their curriculum according to their interests and career ambitions by choosing one of the two training pathways provided: Filmmaker and Theatre Maker.

Career Opportunities

Upon completion of the candidates' learning pathway, the students will be able to make active contributions in the development and realization of performance events for theater, multimedia and audiovisual content management for film, television, advertising, web and branded content.

Theatre Maker:
Upon completion of the course of study, the students will be able to make an active contribution in the development and realization of performance events for the theater, multimedia and audiovisual content management for the theater, live performance promotion, dissemination of live performance in the territory, and industry branded content.

Modality of attendance

The learning activities are presential, however students meeting certain requirements can also participate in live streaming, wherever they are, interacting live with the classroom.

The lessons of the Bachelor's Degree Course in DAMS are designed to provide students with the most engaging experience possible. For a more complete and useful education, the professors invite the students to favour presential attendance. In any case, the activities offered in live streaming can also be listened to at a later time to complement the students' education.


LEARNING PATHWAYS

Filmmaker

The aim of the learning pathway is to train a Filmmaker, a professional figure capable of realizing an audiovisual project, from the development to the realization of the finished product, dealing personally with all stages of the process.

The learning pathway provides theoretical and practical knowledge required to carry out the work of Filmmaker, intended as a creative professional who combines humanistic knowledge with skills acquired behind the camera and in directing actors and actresses, writing scripts, managing lighting systems, editing and post-production. A professional who masters digital technologies and the organizational and management tools of the film, television, and multimedia industries.

Since the very first year, the learning pathway gives ample space to laboratories, enabling the students to put the technical-theoretical knowledge learned into practice.

The course of study is supported by the authoritative expertise of professors, academic figures and professionals thanks to the permanent link established by the University with regional cultural industries and the involvement of different thematic research centers in the University.

Theatre Maker

The aim of the Theatre Maker learning pathway is to prepare the students for a career as modern performers, able to be the creators, driving forces and implementers of artistic projects related to live performance. A performer who is not merely a performer figure, but a creator - individually or in collaboration - of artistic and performance projects.

The union of humanistic knowledge and practical experience enables the students to interpret and take active part in the entire cultural sector: in production, performative events for the theater, in the broader field of cultural activities, in multimedia and audiovisual content management for the theater sector.

The course of study is supported by the authoritative expertise of professors, academic figures and practitioners/ professionals thanks to the permanent link established by the University with regional cultural industries and the involvement of different thematic research centers in the University.

In order to be admitted to the Degree Course, it is necessary to hold an upper secondary school diploma or other qualification obtained abroad, recognized as suitable by current regulations.

At the same time, the students must possess adequate knowledge of general culture and logic-mathematics, as well as text comprehension skills.

Furthermore, required knowledge and language skills consistent with the language of delivery of the Course of Study and/or individual curriculum.
The verification of the possession of the knowledge required for access is done by means of an appropriate test. 

In case the aforementioned test gives a negative result, the students will have to fulfill the following additional educational obligations (OFA):

  • Taking the Contemporary History exam for the History of Contemporary Culture learning pathway, in the case of a negative assessment of general culture/text comprehension knowledge.

  • Compulsory attendance of a remedial course delivered online in the case of a negative outcome of the language proficiency assessment.
    Any OFAs must be fulfilled within the first year of the course.

Any OFAs must be fulfilled within the first year of the course.

The Course of Study supports the students through 4 different types of tutoring:

  • Orientation and soft skill-aimed tutoring, carried out by the Educational Coordinator, who assists the students in the stages of orientation, insertion into university life, monitoring of the learning pathway and motivation (always having as a reference the planned results), support in the completion of bureaucratic procedures, the latter in collaboration with the Student Administration Office;
  • international orientation tutoring, carried out by the International office, which offers personalized assistance to both international students enrolled in the Course of Study and Erasmus students;
  • educational tutoring, entrusted to teaching support figures (teaching assistants, doctoral students, holders of supplementary teaching contracts, etc.), who support the students with supplementary teaching activities related to specific teachings;
  • specialized tutoring, carried out by the Inclusion Education Coordinator, for students with disabilities or specific learning disorders (DSA) and special educational needs (BES), aimed at reducing the obstacles that could prevent their full inclusion in the university environment.

The workshop activities are designed as moments of learning by doing, through which the students will acquire and/or refine soft skills (team work, problem solving, leadership, communication skills, etc.), increasingly fundamental in the labour maket. Furthermore, workshops represent opportunities for in-depth experiential learning in direct contact with professionals in the field.

In order to enrich and vary the offering of hands-on workshops and orient it to the real needs of professional positioning in an industry that is constantly and rapidly evolving, the DAMS workshops change every year, involving professional lecturers already active in the performing arts and audiovisual system.

The workshops planned for the year 2023 and 2024 are:

Still enriching its educational offerings with hands-on workshops by leading artists/performers in film, theater and TV, DAMS University Link is organizing a series of workshops aimed at those who want to measure themselves with directing, acting and writing.


20 - 21 - 22 - 23 maggio 2024

IL MAESTRO SILENZIOSO
Workshop di interpretazione cinematografica su musiche di Ennio Morricone

Professor
DARIO BIANCONE

Music, word, emotion. This triad could recount the contribution made by a great master of composition for film in our contemporary world. Actor, author and director Dario Biancone guides DAMS students on a journey from film script to integration with the more subtle nuances of emotions that only music performed live can create. The lecturer guides the participants in the analysis and interpretation of excerpts from the most famous films that came to life through the scores of Maestro Ennio Morricone. The workshop includes a public meeting on May 23 from 7 p.m. in the Aula Magna “Franco Frattini,” in the performance “Ennio Morricone. Un pianoforte e il racconto delle storie più belle raccontate dal Maestro.”


28 - 29 maggio 2024

ALZARE IN PIEDI IL TESTO
Text interpretation and read aloud workshop with Lino Guanciale

Professor
LINO GUANCIALE

In his extensive experience in theater and film, a particular skill of this actor lies in making all kinds of textuality engaging and exciting, thanks to his intense work as an “actor-dramatist” in contexts other than conventional acting. In this workshop he shares the long study on text analysis and the written word, to make participants measure themselves with the meanings and expressive opportunities of a script, but also of a public reading, to exercise specific attention to vocal expressiveness and audience engagement.


10 - 11 - 12 - 13 - 14 giugno 2024

LA DANZA DELLO SGUARDO
Workshop di regia televisiva con Roberto Croce

Professor
ROBERTO CROCE

Currently the director of Domenica In, Roberto Croce's experience starts with dance and ballet. He directed musicals, concerts and choreography for musical theater. In this workshop, he guides participants to understand how a trained eye for perceiving choral movement is the most important key to creating a rhythmic and compelling direction in television studios that score the highest ratings on the big TV schedule. The workshop leads to the complete creation of an episode of a show, from writing to videotaping to editing.


In the academic year 2023/2024, DAMS students participated in the LINKinFESTIVAL project, in collaboration with the film criticism magazine Filmcronache and the Roma Cinema Fest; they were/are members of the jury of the Marano Ragazzi Spot Festival; have met artistic and production figures from the theater with the VascelloLAB project, a professionalizing path on live performance professions financed by the Lazio Region and in collaboration with the Vascello Theater in Rome; and will actively participate in the filming of the new Lightless production company film, shot entirely in the Campus spaces.

The Course of Study reserves special credits for orientation training internships, to be carried out within the University, as well as internships and apprenticeships at institutions, agencies, organizations and foundations, enterprises, such as:

The final dissertation consists in the discussion, before a special committee, of a written paper prepared under the guidance of a professor, on a topic related to a discipline in which the student has taken an examination.

While not requiring specific characteristics of originality, the paper should demonstrate the acquired mastery of the analytical tools learned in the course of study, the ability to integrate the diversified disciplinary knowledge learned, as well as the communication skills suitable for a fruitful entry into the labour market and/or the continuation of the educational path in the two-year master's degree program.

The paper may be written and discussed in Italian and/or English.

The manner of conducting the final examination and its timing are defined in the academic calendar, published on the University website and communicated by the Student Administration Office.
