Programme structure

The vision of the Home of Performance Practices is to foster an undisciplined and diverse intellectual environment that uses performance as a strategy for building equality and resilience. 

The programme is specifically designed for performance practitioners or professionals with substantial experience and knowledge in performance practice, theatre, choreography, live art, or somatic and body-based practices. You may also be admitted if you hold an equivalent degree and have sufficient professional experience in the field. The programme attracts candidates who wish to challenge and refine their artistic practice. For this reason, the programme provides a practice-oriented, intensive, residency-based form of education that meets the learning and development needs of working artists and creators.
