Master Performing Public Space - Call for applicants!

Fontys Master Performing Public Space invites artists from a variety of backgrounds to apply with individual artistic research projects focusing on public space.

This 1-year Master programme (online/on-campus) is investigating public space as a backdrop for artistic expression, intervention, and research. 

Performing Public Space is committed to understanding how cultural developments can produce meaningful change within our shared spaces, based on the idea that public space exists only when it is socially performed. In a time in which political and social structures are re-considered heavily, PPS offers a flexible and innovative environment to artistically question, redefine and reclaim public space in its broadest sense. Combining an interdisciplinary range of approaches and subjects, with an equally diverse range of research methods, PPS creates the opportunity for artists to explore their practice and its potential in public space. Creatives with a background in theatre, dance, circus, music, fine arts, architecture, digital arts and graphic design are welcome to join this program.

"My experience of the Master Performing Public Space course has been nothing short of transformative. I entered the course with a desire to crack open my ways of thinking, making, doing, and being. The course offered this and much more. This intense one-year program served as an invaluable platform for the development of my artistic practice, expansion and fine-tuning of my skill sets, and acceleration of my knowledge, not just as a dance artist, academic, and artistic researcher, but also as a human being.”
