Last Friday, March 07, 2014 there was an official kick off of the SNDO
& MIME project ENCOUNTER.
All second and third years students of both departments of the
Theaterschool Amsterdam will develop projects focused on two questions:
Which audience do you want to share your art with? Where do you want to
meet your audience?
MIME & SNDO are both BA programs that are part of the Theaterschool's
education unit called INTERNATIONAL MAKERS. Already for a long time it has been
a deep wish from both departments to collaborate in a project. Artistic
directors Loes van der Pligt (MIME) and Gabriel Smeets (SNDO) enjoy the
collaboration a lot and are excited about the project. Students responded with
great enthusiasm to the proposition in the first meeting
The working period for the process will be May26-June 20, 2014. Artists like Sara Vanhee and Lucas de Man will be invited to talk about their work, as a source of inspiration.
The students will be organizing themselves in 6 groups around theme's,
ideas, preferences for certain audiences or for certain locations.
The presentations of the research results, on different locations in and
around Amsterdam, will be announced later this Spring.
