Masterclass FIELD

In the master class we dive head-first into creating programs. How do you put together an interesting program? Who do you want at the table? And why exactly that person? We will immerse ourselves in the world of research, current events and exciting new angles. We will talk about the power of giving someone a stage, about theater and current events, and how programs can add substance to a performance visit. Using the Jonge Harten program as a basis, we will work with a fictitious program component that connects seamlessly to both the programming and current events.

Expect fun conversations, fast-paced information gathering, critical questioning and new insights about program making and the field.
