This year's Master of Arts training course "Theater - Cinema - Television" has special significance as most of the students are artists working professionally at public and socialized art units across the country.

Notably, nearly two-thirds of the students are working in Ho Chi Minh City - the most dynamic art center in the country - showing the North-South connection in the journey of improving knowledge, exchanging expertise, and developing modern theatrical identity.

This year's list of graduation theses shows a deep interest in folk art and traditional artistic values.

Many topics focus on studying Cheo, Cai Luong, and the performing arts of veteran artists - proving that the orientation of preserving and promoting national identity is still the main stream in the artistic thinking of the current generation of artists.

Some prominent topics include: "The performing art of People's Artist Bach Tuyet in two reformed plays Monologue at Night and Life of Miss Luu" (Nguyen Thanh Tay); "The art of character building in the script of People's Artist Vien Chau" (Tang Hoang Thuan - Thanh Hiep); "The character Duong Van Nga on the reformed stage" (Ho Thi Ngoc Trinh); "Absorbing the humorous elements of traditional Cheo in short Cheo plays of the Vietnam Cheo Theatre" (Le Thi Bich); "Inheriting and promoting the traditional Cheo performing art in three historical Cheo plays" (Bui Cam Trang).

In addition, topics of analysis and criticism of contemporary theater also contribute to enriching the research landscape such as: "The directing art of People's Artist Tran Minh Ngoc on the drama stage" (Tran Thi Bao Chau); "Expressive sound in the acting art of drama actors" (Tran Thi Tuyet Van)...

The fact that the students - who are directors, actors, and screenwriters - are directly working on stages from North to South has helped the theses not only stop at theory, but also closely connect with creative practice. The topics are the product of the process of professional accumulation and vivid contact with the audience.
