Changes I'd make to my study pogram.
I think that we need deeper courses because we have a semester carrer program and in one semester we can not do the theorical and practical things. I always think the career is more like a "hand made craft" career, so we need a balanced program between theorical and practical information but always guided to make things. abaout the infrastructure, I think that we need more specifically spaces. we have the basic spaces, but in some kind of workshops or activities we need more technical equipment and infrastructure. Also we have very old instrumental to the workshops and classes, for example, the illumination workshop happens whit the minimal conditions; we have the instrumental lighting, basicaly and old instrumental, but at least we have it. the problem is that we use incandescent istrumental but in "the real world", in the labor world the theaters use led instrumental, so we have a mismatch between the thinks that we learn in the faculty and the thinks that we have to do and the knowledge that we have to update in the outside.
About the teachers, we have only one teacher whit pedagogy education, therefore the change between the higschool education and university education is so drastical. That happens in the university of Chile in general, but in our case I think that is a problem because we are an a hibryd of handmade craft career and bachelor of arts, and the link between them could be a pedagogy formation for the teachers. The other alternative that I think could solve the problem is the "handmade craft way" doing more practical courses, workshops in outside theaters, agreements whit cultural institutions and others universitys; for example, work togheter whit the acting students of other universities, whit new companys, whit dancers, etc. basically get out the discipline of the "academic limit" to take advantage of what the teachers know for their experience.
I think the same as you in the sense that a lot of things that we learn to use function differently in the real world of theater nowadays
