DEFENSE OF THE DOCTORAL THESIS BY MARINA BUKVIČKI
On Tuesday, December 27th, 2022, at the Belgrade Dance Institute, doctoral candidate Marina Bukvički successfully defended her doctoral dissertation titled Ja lutka – I a doll; biographical material as a template for creating a multimedia project. The mentor of this dissertation was Prof. dr Snežana Arnautović-Stjepanović. The defense was conducted before a committee consisting of:
- Prof. dr Miomir Petrović;
- Prof. Aleksandar Ilić;
- Prof. Dijana Milošević from the Belgrade Dance Institute;
- Prof. Emeritus Vida Ognjenović from the Faculty of Contemporary Arts in Belgrade;
- Prof. dr Vera Obradović from the Faculty of Arts at the University of Priština.
Marina Bukvički’s artistic-theoretical research is conducted within the framework of contemporary performing arts, performance, and multimedia art. The author uses the biographical material of Mileva Marić and Albert Einstein as a starting point for her work, aiming to prove that using different multimedia tools can create a stronger emotional experience for the viewer than using only theater or film narratives. The project’s idea was to find a method, the right mechanism for a classical school actor to take on a role based on biographical (documentary) material and implement it into multimedia content using performance, video art, movement, film, and theater, or their elements.
