ArtEZ X Theater Oostpool

ArtEZ Academy of Theatre & Dance and Theater Oostpool have collaborated more than fifteen times. Each year, third-year School of Acting students create a production with Theater Oostpool, preparing a new generation of actors for the professional stage.

In 2025, the students presented Dance Nation. Theater Oostpool brought this Pulitzer Prize-nominated play by Clare Barron to the Netherlands for the first time. The up-and-coming dance group is portrayed by an equally up-and-coming third-year School of Acting. Directed by Florian Myjer, they performed Dance Nation for five evenings at Theater Oostpool in Arnhem.
