The videos below offer a behind-the-scenes glimpse of final-year students going through the final process and their time at ArtEZ.

Graduating from the master's programme Classical Music

Inspired by her hometown’s efforts, Laura Torres Morales has created a fusion of classical and folk music. The Classical Music master’s graduate noticed her hometown’s cultural projects, which aim to preserve the traditional local folk songs known as the jota. She then teamed up with a composer friend to create a new piece based on these regional melodies.

The finals of Thor Braun

From television to theatre. Thor Braun, known among other things from the TV series Oogappels, graduated from the School of Acting. He did so with his performance ‘Jongens’, about his personal relationship with love and sexuality. Through creating his own performance, Thor discovered how much he has grown during the course: “At ArtEZ I really learned to use my body and voice. I think four years ago I couldn’t even reach the back row.”
