IF
you are working in the performing arts and want to start an artistic research in a professional research environment, free from production constraints,
OR
if the concepts of performativity or/and scenography are (relatively) new to you and you want to explore them in depth,
THEN
a.pass (advanced performance and scenography studies) can offer you a one year post master program in which you develop your performative or scenographic 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 invites artists and theoreticians – possibly engaged in a PhD in the Arts – to develop independent artistic and transdisciplinary projects producing knowledge and tools relating to the key issues of the a.pass programs.

a.pass (advanced performance and scenography studies)
is an artistic research environment on post-master level, containing two study programmes: a.pt and a.s.
a.pt (advanced performance training) is mainly aimed at artists and theoreticians with a proven experience in developing work in or on the performance field (apart from the usual suspects, also musicians, visual artists, architects, political and social scientists, critical theorists, actionists, etc. with a trajectory in the performance field). a.pt addresses participants who want to question their own work, re-evaluate their trajectory or explore a fascination that doesn’t fit institutional standards.
a.s (advanced scenography) welcomes artists and theoreticians who want to investigate the notion of scenography on and off the stage. The programme offers a practice-based artistic and theoretical program and addresses professionals trained in architecture, (interior) design, visual arts, graphics, etc. a.s also addresses directors, choreographers, costume designers and performers who want to expand their thinking about and experience within scenography.
Target applicants
a.pt (advanced performance training) is mainly aimed at artists and theoreticians with a proven experience in developing work in or on the performance field (apart from the usual suspects, also musicians, visual artists, architects, political and social scientists, critical theorists, actionists, etc. with a trajectory in the performance field).
a.s (advanced scenography) welcomes artists and theoreticians who want to investigate the notion of scenography on and off the stage. The programme offers practice-based artistic and theoretical input and addresses professionals trained in architecture, (interior) design, visual arts, graphics, etc… Also directors, choreographers, costume designers and performers who want to expand their thinking about scenography, are welcome.
Call for projects & applications
The artistic-pedagogical process of a.pass always starts with an international call for projects aimed at artists and theoreticians. Respondents to this call for projects have to outline an artistic research project which ties in with their own artistic or theoretical background. The proposal should also clarify the relevance of the research towards the applicant’s artistic and/or theoretical development.
Required qualities of the research proposal
To apply for either a.pt or a.s, we ask you to send us a proposal for a research project. Your application is meant to give us a clear insight in what you aim to achieve in your 12 month-working period, the relevance of your project, and your willingness to open up your personal research to the critical platform of the a.pass participants.
Your proposal should consist of:
1) a clear text describing the general outline of your project, including a detailed planning of the first 3 month working period (central question, proposed research trajectory, initial proposed methodology, what media would you like to work on, …).
2) the relevance of this project to the development of your practice or knowledge production of the performance field or scenography in particular.
3) a proposal on how to develop and communicate your research to your fellow participants, and a wider audience (what formats you would like to explore, how you would like to archive your trajectory and make it available to your professional colleagues and the public)
4) the material, you think, best illustrates your past achievements and/or your artistic talents: DVD’s, photos, texts, reviews, port folio, drawings, paintings, scale models, etc.
5) a recent curriculum vitae including information on your master diploma (what, obtained where, date of issue) or on the highest diploma obtained.
Candidates who are not holder of a master degree, should pay special attention to including also a relevant biography and material illustrating at least three years of qualitative experience working in or around the artistic sector.
6) your contact information (full name, date & place of birth, nationality, address, phone numbers)
