Because we expect far more applications than we can accept, we use a preliminary selection round in the admissions course.
This means that all applications must be accompanied by four completed assignments, which will then be reviewed by a selection committee.
Based in part on assignments 1 and 2, the selection committee will decide whether you are admitted to part 1 of the selection process. You will hear from us by mid-November at the latest whether you may begin part 1 of the selection course. The outcome of the selection is not open to correspondence.
If you are placed in part 1 (and possibly later in parts 2 and 3), you carry a serious responsibility to appear and participate. After all, you will then hold a place in our selection process, and Toneelacademie puts great effort into organising and conducting the selection. Failing to cancel in time—or worse: simply not showing up—is regarded as a serious disruption of this process.
You, the 21st-century theatre-maker
“Theatre cannot exist without the other. So you do not come only to take something away; you also come to contribute something.”
On the application form, describe as precisely as possible—in no more than 250 words—a specific theatrical moment in the future in which we can encounter you as the theatre-maker of tomorrow. Imagine that you have graduated from the Maastricht Theatre Academy. Where are you? What is happening? And what makes this moment distinctly you?

C.V.
On the application form, provide your CV in no more than 200 words. Be sure to include any relevant theatre and film experience. And don’t keep hidden talents hidden.
