Cultural Program
The Summer Theater Intensive also provides a cultural and intellectual context for the work being done in the studio, in the process making the city of Berlin a subject and creative force for the program and not simply its location.
Curriculum
The Summer Theater Intensive aims to foster creative engagement between students and a wide variety of multidisciplinary artists working in theater and performance in Berlin. This rigorous four-week program explores techniques in the devising and creating of original theater works, and immerses students in the city’s theater and performance culture through regular outings to performances, museums, galleries, and other cultural venues; visits to artistic and historical landmarks; and meetings with artists.
Coursework
Students study a variety of “methods” of creation with Berlin-based artists and, under their guidance, create original theater works. Students also explore the historical and contemporary richness of Berlin’s theatrical culture with faculty from Bard College Berlin.
