Special postgraduate programme "Applied Dramaturgy in Music and Performing Arts"

In music and other performing arts, dramaturges function as observers and communicators. They involve themselves and others (audiences, directors, musicians, actors, stage and set designers, etc.) in work pertaining to collective aesthetics and content. This special postgraduate programme "Applied Dramaturgy in Music and Performing Arts" supports dramaturges in the development and realisation of their ideas and projects in the context of contemporary artistic and dramaturgical practice across all areas of music/performing arts: concerts, music theatre, spoken theatre, performance, dance, and hybrid art forms.

This programme is a two-year postgraduate education programme aiming to add depth to students´ professionalism. Core content includes knowledge from the fields of musical and theatrical dramaturgy as well as from cultural studies, cultural policy, philosophy, and aesthetics. Dealing with aesthetics and language, structuring and documenting dramaturgical undertakings, and cooperating with international arts institutions are all focuses of this postgraduate programme, which is offered at the Department of Cultural Management and Gender Studies (IKM).
