Bachelor and Master exchange programme Drama Campus Leuven

Exchange programme in Drama

Campus Leuven / Lemmens

At LUCA Drama you become an actor/theatre maker/writer. You develop a well-founded vision of the world and the artistic field. You learn to function in a broad and flexible way, as a creative and performing artist. With a strong dose of decisiveness and entrepreneurial spirit. With your own artistic profile and the ability to create your own context for your work. With the flexibility to set up projects together with other makers, also cross-disciplinary.

Curriculum

You can choose between two tracks: the acting/creating track or the track writer/maker (the so called 'writing for performance' track. The students from the different tracks have their own practical projects but also frequently work together as a writer, maker, and/or player in modules and atelier weeks.

In our programme, text and language are the most important elements. You develop language sensitivity and text understanding. While playing, creating and writing, you explore what text can be today and in the future. You train your body and voice and learn how to use them on stage. You are alternately coached individually and collectively, in six-week practical modules. Every year, during four open studio weeks, you can experiment with materials and working methods, individually or in groups. In this way, you develop your own method of working with your fascinations.

Exchange students are welcome in the second or third phase of our study programme. In these phases, the deepening of artistic skills and the development of an own artistic profile are central.

The student comes into contact with various artists in a number of projects (two projects in the first semester, three in the second semester ). In addition, in the theory subjects, the formulation of own standpoints in relation to the arts, the world and .... are central.

The study programme makes the choices for the projects together with the exchange student, on the basis of the course already taken, language, etc....
