Deadline for applications: 2nd March 2020

The Master of Theatre Practices at the ArtEZ University of the Arts welcomes applications from choreographers, theatre directors, performance and live artists, dancers, actors, scenographers, playwrights and dramaturgs seeking to deepen their artistic practices through focus on the Body in Performance, research experimentation and feedback.

The Master Theatre Practices is a two-year low-residence, high intensity Master’s degree programme specifically tailored and designed for performance practitioners who are invested in the challenge, empowerment, resilience and continuity of their artistic practices.

Apply until March 2nd (10am CET) for first round, for a limited number of places available.

The ArtEZ Master of Theatre Practices aims at challenging and expanding the notion of performance and interrogating how embodied actions create social meanings. Participants design the trajectory of research in close dialogue with a team of experienced tutors and inspiring guests from an international network in the performing arts.

At the heart of the programme lies the unique combination of contemporary performance studies and cutting-edge practice-as-research investigations. Informed by critical theory and the latest developments within artistic practice, this course locates performance into its socio-political dimensions and aims to interrogate the precarious and urgent role of art in society.

The programme’s vision is to create a de-disciplined, diverse thinking programme that promotes performance making as a strategy for equitable societies and resilience, investing in the empowerment and continuity of the artistic practices of practitioners. By the end of their course, students will have developed a portfolio of projects that advance notions and practices on the making of artistic work, as well as a critical self-positioning in the professional field of the performing arts.
