ZEROPLUS MOVEMENT-BASED PERFORMING ARTS EDUCATION PROGRAM, 2024-25
ZeroPlus Performing Arts Education Program is a 9-months long, movement-based education program, where performing arts are viewed in the broadest sense, covering choreography, theater practices, performance art, trans- and interdisciplinary works. We approach these versatile practices from movement because we believe that the body is a valuable reference point, whatever we choose to focus on as a performer and creator.
When
9 September, 2024 – 15 June, 2025 (altogether min. 33 weeks). There will be a break in the fall, around Christmas /New Year, and two more in the second semester.
Where
Jurányi u. 1., 1027 Budapest, Hungary
Deadline for applications
