The program talks to those interested in a deeper exploration of movement as a way to connect with one’s deeper creative resources and performance making as a way to (co-) imagine the world we share as we wish it to be.
You create your own program by choosing the intensives, masterclasses and workshops that appeal most to you on your personal and professional journey.
The program offers a transdisciplinary approach using wide range of different modalities and forms such as the expressive arts, movement-based dreamwork, intuitive movement, holistic voice work and other body awareness practices, storytelling and myth making, mask work from the Neutral Mask to the Red Nose of the clown. You are not only given the creative autonomy to create your own program, but also the opportunity to use all the different provocations for performance making in the language/s of your own choice, from film making to dance choreography, from installation to playwriting.
The program consists of five key components:
Teacher-guided studio research
Participants can complete the program at their own pace, making it an appealing option for those who are interested in professional development, but who have other commitments that prevent them from full-time participation. You can decide to finish the program within nine months or extend it over several years, depending on your preference.
You have the flexibility to design your own program by selecting 3-week intensives, 2-week masterclasses, 1-week workshops and weekend specials of your choice from our workshop program. For further details and workshop descriptions, please have a look at our workshop brochure.
To complete the program, you are required to complete the following:
300 hours of teacher-led studio research
10 individual process sessions
A process book
Participation in at least two devised research projects
A final project
Program Structure
Individual process sessions
Collaborative and/or individual performance making
Independent creative research
Completion of a final project
For the 2025/26 season, the workshop program runs from Oct 27, 2025 to April 3, 2026
Practitioners coming with a Short Term Schengen Visa, wishing to complete the 300 hours during one stay, the study period would run from January 16 - April 3, 2026
The teacher-led studio research is offered through 3-week intensives, 2-week masterclasses, one-week workshops, and weekend workshops. The program emphasizes excellent teaching while maintaining a soul-centered approach for each participant. These various offerings share a common goal: to reconnect with the deep creative sources within ourselves and in the world around us, inspiring the creation of new narratives, myths, and paradigms relevant to us and our times.
The individual process sessions aim to enhance each participant’s ability to listen to and engage with their intuition, imagination, and inner voices. These sessions are provided by experienced team members, each utilizing different modalities such as movement, voice, drawing, or sculpting.
The (co-)creation of at least two devised research projects offers participants the possibility to devise projects of their interest, independently or in collaboration with fellow artists. Here you deepen your experience of how to listen to one another and engage in a spirit of co-creation, or delve deeper into your creative autonomy as a performance maker, tapping into the richness of your imagination and understanding the responsibilities for your work.
The process book allows participants to reflect on their creative and personal journey throughout the program using various creative modalities.
The final project, which concludes the program, can be completed within six months following the studio research. Depending on personal circumstances, it may also be completed earlier in the process.
The tuition fee for the Diploma Program is € 4600,00 inclusive of all the individual sessions.
In case participants in the Diploma Program wish to participate in additional intensives, masterclasses or workshops beyond the required 300 hours, they will pay a reduced fee for their additional choices.
