The general properties of higher spin gauge theories will be summarized. In the first lecture the emphasize will be on the unfolded dynamics approach and its application to the formulation of the free four-dimensional higher spin theory in the ten-dimensional matrix space. In the second lecture the general construction of the nonlinear higher spin field equations in $AdS_4$ will be presented.
