Theatre Directing

Which stories do you want to tell and to whom? Via theatre you can contribute to the narratives that shape our world. The Theatre Directing Study Programme teaches you to follow your fascinations and give them form with the help of others. What does theatre directing mean to you in these current times? What kind of theatre do you want to create?

Theatre is thinking and feeling. How do you evolve from idea to performance? During your study you learn how to combine content and form in a creative process. In the course of four years you develop your own ‘directing language’: what you want to say and how to go about it. Who and what do you need to make it happen? How do you work together on the basis of complementarity? How do you find words and images? You develop your imaginative powers and discover who you are as director.

The Theatre Directing Study Programme Amsterdam is a small school that is individually oriented. It provides room for personal development and mastering a craft. This is your route towards becoming a theatre maker who understands the profession, is conscious of the surrounding world and unafraid of seeking an own path therein.
