EARs: Expositions of Artistic Research

Programme: Master Performance Practices
When: Tuesday 14 to Friday 17 April, daily from 15:00 to 19:00 
Location: Onderlangs 9, Arnhem

“The EARs represent the culmination of two years of rigorous research, where research is transformed into a public encounter.”

During the Expositions of Artistic Research (EARs), you can experience the performances of graduating students from the master Performance Practices. Over the past two years, these artists have gone through an intensive journey in which they have expanded, deepened, and challenged their artistic research questions.

The results are diverse performances in which dance, theatre, visual art, music, and choreography come together. The works reflect personal and distinctive approaches and engage with urgent and contemporary themes. Curious to see their work? Read more and come and see for yourself!

When: Tuesday 14 April at 19:15

On 14 April, third-year students of the bachelor Dance Artist take the stage at Musis & Stadstheater Arnhem with a varied programme. Expect choreographies by, among others, Ann van der Broek, Tiago Manquinho, and Jefta Tanate, alongside original work by the students. You will experience how the language of the body takes centre stage in a theatrical setting and see how students develop into co-creating dancers and makers.

This performance marks an important moment: the completion of their third year. They will then take the next step towards the professional field, with internships at (inter)national dance companies.
