The SUPSI Master of Arts in Theatre
General Introduction
General Introduction
The Master of Arts in Theatre offers a space for creation where the exchange between students from different cultural backgrounds stimulates exploration in the field of theatre. This exchange is based on a politics of the body approach, and on its role in the performing arts, in living together, in communication – the body representing the ground on which are determined the social practices and constructions based on the differences between human beings.
Starting from their own experiences, students deepen their understanding of theatre, investigate their way of working, and expose themselves as artists. In their learning and growth process, they are guided by professors and lecturers who give ample space and importance to the collective (Peer Group), in the belief that cultural diversity is essential for the growth of an artist.
The Master is part of the Master Campus Theater CH, in which the Swiss universities of applied sciences come together in cooperation:
- Hochschule der Künste Bern
- La Manufacture – Haute école des arts de la scène
- Zürcher Hochschule der Künste
- Accademia Dimitri
Professional opportunities
Upon completion of the training, the Master graduate is able to deal with theatre projects at the creative, organizational and managerial level. He therefore has the means both to collaborate with existing theatre companies on specific projects commissioned by directors, impresarios, und entrepreneurs, as well as to create their own theatre company. Graduates are also able to create new performance or training venues, and to manage innovative applications in non-artistic fields – a skill that is now reinforced and refined thanks to the new specialization.
