Programme Structure

Courses include:

The organized program of the Master in Theatre does not intend to present a monolithic view on artistic practices and Artistic Research but rather a ‘mosaic’, offering you many possible connections with your individual practice. Through these encounters, you acquire the tools to contextualize your Artistic Project and Artistic Research.
The program is divided into 3 semesters, each with a different emphasis. The first semester is the most packed (organized meetings every Monday and Tuesday), with a focus on introducing the principles of Artistic Research. In the second semester, there is a movement from organized to self-organized. Workshops and mentoring take the upper hand. In the third semester you are, besides being the host of the new students of the first year, completely self-organized. You take care of your mentoring and complete your production with production plan (Artistic Project).
