Why Artisteducator in Theater?

You'll evolve into an artist who makes a meaningful impact, embraces a critical mindset, and shares compelling stories on both national and international stages. As an artisteducator, you'll excel at connecting, creating, moving, shaping, and listening.

More than a teacher

The Artisteducator in Theatre bachelor's programme in Arnhem trains you to be a theatre artist and artisteducator with a teaching qualification for primary education, secondary education, mbo education and all other forms of education, who:

  • has the ability to connect with others through artistic experiences;
  • demonstrates that by means of theatre, it is possible to make an impact on society and to change lives;
  • has an inquisitive attitude towards the professional field coming forth out of ones own perspective.

Be part of the next generation of artisteducators

As a maker, you know how to connect with people and what touches them, and you use theatre to initiate action. Making theatre and coaching and inspiring others to do the same (teaching) cannot be seen in isolation from one another; they are inextricably linked. That is why our Artisteducator in Theatre course does not train you as a traditional theatre teacher but as an artisteducator, based on a highly inquisitive and curious attitude and in an atmosphere of equality and commitment. 

After the course, you can find a role in intramural or extramural education or in the educational department of a theatre company or museum. You will be making a difference to society.
