Educational Year Programmes | 10 months, full-time
Ten intensive months of training in movement, creative practice and theory. The three programmes train separately, with many chances to collaborate across disciplines. Each year ends with KONDENSAT, a show where every participant performs and contributes a piece of their own.
Educational Year Dance
Contemporary dance, classical techniques, improvisation and composition, plus urban and commercial styles. Work with guest choreographers and create your own dance pieces.

Educational Year Physical Theatre
Physical theatre in all its range: physical training, mime, clowning, mask, voice, contemporary dance, improvisation, composition and acrobatics. You’ll explore both the dramatic and the humorous, and use public space as a stage.

+ Voice
Students in the Dance and Physical Theatre programmes can add vocal training to their year. It includes individual sessions with voice coaches and group voice work with the rest of the group, so voice and movement are trained together. Available for an additional fee.
