Music project together wtih samen Trix Music Centre

The specialization Music&Creating works together with Music Centre Trix for the Digital Music Production lessons. This culminates in the third-year music project in which the students, led by Youniss Ahamad and Felix Machtelinckx, explore how to translate their productions live.

Guestfest and DeDinsdagen

Guestfest is the festive opening of the academic year for all drama students. For two weeks, students work together in cross-class groups with a different artist each week. Those artists are active in adjacent disciplines such as dance, performance, music, philosophy, spoken word. Guestfest is not result-oriented. The work processes end with an internal peformance at which there is no judging or grading. The value lies entirely in the encounter, in the expansion, the exchange, the authenticity. 

A regular feature of the Guestfest are DeDinsdagen. Both Tuesday evenings in the festival, the entire drama programme has dinner together, followed by an interview with a contemporary artist or debate on a topical issue. 

Guestfest and DeDinsdagen give a boost to the beginning of the academic year; frames of reference are shaken, cross-pollinations between classes and disciplines are encouraged.

Café Chantant

Three times a year, bachelor students from the specialization Music&Creating, sing songs from a variety of genres during the ‘Café Chantants’, accompanied only by piano. With their accessible mix of intimacy and festivity, these musical café evenings have become crowd-pleasers in recent years, attracting diverse audiences.

NextDoors

In the last week before spring break, we make time for the interdisciplinary NextDoors project. Students from all years and programmes are challenged to look behind the wall of their own class or direction and enter into collaborations with others. The results of those collaborations are as diverse as they are unique. 

Masterfestival Drama

At the end of the academic year, after their internships and projects, the master in Drama students perform their graduation performance in a professional theatre context. Almost graduated, they share their young artistry with the world and make their first contribution to the performing arts of the future.

The Repertoire project

The three bachelor classes Acting&Creating, supplemented by volunteers from the master students, work in mixed groups for 5 weeks around forgotten dialogues by non-male, non-western or otherwise underrepresented playwrights. At the same time, they will explore how non-inclusive theatre repertoire could possibly still be played. After the work at the table and on the floor, playing in front of an audience is the final stage. During the 3 performative evenings, the audience witnesses the craft of acting.

Writing and Illustration project

Conservatoire meets Academy.  
A thorough experiment in design. 
Storytelling&Making and Graphic Design students sit/stand/walk together to work.
There is writing, cutting, drawing, printing and binding. 
Booklets, banners, posters or folding work: anything is possible in this collaborative imagination.

Breathing 

In other words, an interdisciplinary meeting between Storytelling&Making and Music-Jazz. 
Students from both programmes join forces for an exciting collaboration.
Text is collected and written, music selected and arranged.
And then this eclectic crew dives into the rehearsal studio in search of the right tone and a new sound, which is shared in a smashing performance. 
Sparks guaranteed every year!
