a.pass is a one year artistic research program open to artists and
theoreticians with an interest in exploring the performative and/or spatial
dimensions of their practice.

If you are working in the performing arts and you want to develop an
artistic research project in a professional collaborative environment,

Or
if you come from another field and the concepts of performativity or/and
scenography are (relatively) new to you but you want to explore them in
depth, in relation to your own practice

Then
a.pass (advanced performance and scenography studies) can offer you a one
year post-master program in which you develop your research project. In a
context of self-education and collaboration you create a personal trajectory
through workshops, individual mentoring and interaction with the other
participants. At the end of this period, you present and communicate your
research.

Beside
the post-master programs, a.pass also invites artists and
theoreticians—possibly engaged in a PhD in the Arts—to develop independent
artistic and trans-disciplinary projects producing knowledge and tools
relating to the key issues of the a.pass program.

The a.pass research program offers you the possibility to develop your
skills as an independent and critical researcher. The curriculum is
organized on the basis of self-organization and group communication, and can
be assembled according to your individual questions and needs. Participants
of a.pass manage their own research in continuous interaction with the other
participants, and in dialogue with a various group of group and personal
mentors.

The 12 month a.pass program is made up of three blocks of four months. The
first three months of each block take place within the organized collective
research environment. Key elements of the program are workshops (organized
in response to the needs of the individual and collective project),
mentoring sessions, individual working time and presentations of the
individual projects, discussion, etc... Every 3 month block starts and ends
with a collective working week. The fourth month of each block is organized
on an individual basis.
