The course "The Magic Behind the Lines – Secrets of Subtext and Stage Drama" will lead young students into the fascinating exploration of subtext, that hidden and implicit content that lies behind the visible text and spoken words. In this unique experience, they will discover how subtext serves as a key to deep expression, conveying hints, and creating convincing stage drama.

As observers of theatrical work, we are exposed to the story told through characters and stage events. However, often the true meaning is hidden beneath the surface – in gestures, facial expressions, and intonations that don't speak the words themselves but hint at deeper content. Subtext serves as the "game instructions" helping us decipher the hidden messages and true emotional intentions of the characters.

During the course, you will learn how changes in intonation, the introduction of dramatic actions, emotional expressions, deep characterization of personalities and their desires – all these can change the meaning of the text in a fascinating and profound way. You will experience expressing ideas, emotions, and perceptions through an emotional and artistic stage performance.

A central part of the study will include working with "white text" – texts devoid of any subtext or hint. Participants will explore how these texts, initially appearing barren and lacking depth, can become meaningful and intriguing through the clever use of subtext components such as intonation and the actor's body.

Furthermore, students will experiment with using the text itself as a creative tool – they will develop new scenes, characters, and dramatic ideas from existing texts, weaving layers of subtext and making them a central and integral part of the creation.

At the end of the process, you will emerge enriched with a deep understanding of the art of hinting, of conveying deep messages "beneath the surface," and of the power of subtext to turn a dramatic work into a particularly fascinating and moving experience.
