Andras Kozma, award-winning translator and dramaturg, will lead a new dramaturgy class starting in September 2025 at the University of Theatre and Film Arts. In this interview, Kozma discusses his teaching philosophy, emphasizing not just factual knowledge but fostering independent artistic thinking and continuous intellectual exploration. He views teaching as a dialogue that inspires both students and himself.
Kozma highlights a holistic approach to theatre education, where students learn about dramaturgy not only through texts but also through gestures, lighting, music, and space. He stresses the importance of creativity, curiosity, and openness as essential qualities for success in theatre. The admission process includes creative tasks to assess these traits, and Kozma seeks students willing to deeply explore themselves and the world to make theatre that can change it for the better.
