Education in Art

You become a teacher, maker and thinker

You develop a way of working in which making, researching and guiding come together. You learn how to use art to create space for dialogue, reflection and change. Not by only sending information, but by learning together.

You start with the other

Education begins with people, with the other, not only with a method. You always look at the context, the questions and the group you work with.
“None of our graduates are the same. Except that they know they start in relationship. Connection before content.”
— Cormac Burmania, Head of Artist-Educator in Theatre

You connect art and society

You work on current themes such as identity, diversity, community and social justice. You explore how art helps to make complex questions visible and how you can support others in understanding themselves and the world around them.

You learn in practice

You work together with schools, cultural institutions and communities. Through projects in cities, museums, neighbourhoods and schools, you learn where your work makes a difference.
