Introduction
Our programme is for practising artists with interest in interdisciplinary artistic situations. We examine the artist’s interaction with the surrounding community and aspects related to location and dramatic structure in artistic work. You apply with an investigative project that you develop through the entire programme. As a student, you will examine new perspectives and challenge your practices through encounters with teachers and fellow students, your supervisor, guest teachers from the arts, and experts from other fields.
The master’s programme in Contemporary Performative Arts is for those who are interested in genre-crossing expressions and styles for non-traditional venues. A recurring focus is a public space and its power structures and challenges in the relationship between actor and spectator. The main focus is the exploratory project that you develop with various perspectives, including performative sound arts, physical and site-specific gestures, films, and public spaces. You will be able to immerse yourself in your own and others’ artistic methods, reflect on the performative arts' role in a cross-disciplinary context, and place your specific practice about other artistic expressions.
