The Royal Conservatoire, the Postgraduate School of Performing Arts and the Sabattini project are independent institutions for arts education. We collaborate closely with each of them.

Royal Conservatoire Antwerp

logo_Artesis_KCThe Royal Conservatoire is a place where far-reaching artistic crossovers are possible as a consequence of the combination of three performing arts courses - music, theatre, dance - and one teacher-training course on the same site and in close cooperation with deSingel international arts campus. This partnership makes for a unique exchange of talent, art and knowledge, which underpins and fuels a pronounced international profile.

Presentations, performances, public exams and so on provide the perfect opportunity to get to know our students and to see our tutors at work. Would you like to attend? Visit www.artesis.be/conservatorium, where you can find out more about competitions and Conservatoire winners, successful auditions, CD issues, and exceptional productions and creations by our students, tutors and graduates.

a.pass - Postgraduate School for the Performing Arts

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.

Sabbattini Employment Initiative

logo_SabbattinideSingel offers a workspace and facilities for two training courses that are part of the 'Sabbattini project', an employment initiative for the cultural sector named after Nicola Sabbattini (°1574, Italy), one of the founders of modern theatre mechanics. The 'assistant stage technician' course and the 'production assistant' course train fifteen people each year. These training courses are supported by the VDAB (Flemish Department of Employment), the city of Antwerp employment unit and the Social Fund for the Performing Arts. deSingel receives support from the Province of Antwerp to develop this initiative even further.
