Master in Theatre

The Programme

The Master in Theatre at the Toneelacademie Maastricht offers you an inspiring program of 1.5 years that combines a focus on Artistic Research with extensive mentoring of your Artistic Project.

The Master consists of

• An intensive organized program with seminars, workshops, meetings and mentorings. You get a challenging and varied input to help you develop your Artistic Project and accompanying Research.

• An individualized itinerary in which you choose your own specific mentors relevant for your Artistic Project and Research.

• An ongoing critical discussion with your peers, guest lecturers, theatre makers and organizers, and professionals and master students from other disciplines. Through these exchanges you develop your discourse and vocabulary.

• A hands-on training where your artistic practice is central. You finish the Master with an Artistic Project that will be presented within the professional field.

• A program composed of 4 building blocks: the meeting between scenography and directing, artistic research, transdisciplinarily and networks (cultural entrepreneurship).
