a.pass - Postgraduate School for the Performing
Arts
a.pass is a transdisciplinary research environment
in which thinking on performativity and stage design play a central
role. In parallel with its educational side, a.pass develops an
independent research platform that can be used to work towards a
PhD in the performing arts. A.pass is open to those
students/researchers with an academic or professional Master's
diploma who wish to develop their practice as a performer or
trainee or as a professional set designer.
a.pt (advanced performance training) focuses on
artists and theorists who have experience in developing their own
work in the broad field of performance and wish to evaluate or
re-evaluate their progress or explore an interest without the
constraints of institutional norms.
a.s (advanced scenography) welcomes artists and
theorists, newcomers and professionals who wish to research into
what scenography is and can be both on and beyond the stage. The
course provides a flexible practical and artistic theoretical
framework which can both shift and transcend the boundaries of
ideas on contemporary design for theatre, dance, performance,
exhibitions and so on.
Participants are selected on the basis of a
personal research project linked to their own artistic practice.
Successful candidates can start their twelve-month course in
January, May or September. At regular intervals a.pass opens its
doors to a broader public for presentations of research results,
public workshops, lectures and so on. The courses are given in
English.
