Your study programme

Get a good impression of what your study programme will look like.

What will you learn?

You work with your study facilitator and research mentor to ensure that what you do fits your discipline-related interests and research goal. Interaction with makers from other fields helps you think innovatively about the choices you make as a movement expert or future leader.

First year

Tilburg en Rotterdam

First year

You focus internally, guided by facilitators, lecturers, mentors, and guest choreographers. You explore artistic research trajectories, critically examine your practices with an emphasis on co-creation. You creatively test questions and communication modes and generate movement-based responses. You engage with current theoretical, technological, and design perspectives, and enter productive discourse about your work.

Second year

Tilburg en Rotterdam

Second year

You focus externally, test your knowledge and develop creative responses to various working contexts. You enrich knowledge beyond your discipline, and develop creative strategies for generating choreography. In the end you produce a final work presented in a public context and supported by a thesis, exegesis, or exposition that documents your research process and places it within a relevant theoretical or artistic context.
