Students get the keys to the Academy of Theatre and Dance

During This is h:OURS, students get the keys to the Academy of Theatre and Dance for one day. On Friday 28 October they will turn the premises on the Jodenbreestraat 3 in Amsterdam on its head! Visitors can enjoy all kinds of try outs, dance- and theatre improvisations, performances, enactments and installations.

The students will receive ‘the key’ to the building from director Jan Zoet and are committed to pull out all the stops to surprise the public and themselves. The students challenge each other to take part in unusual collaborations and adventurous experiments. They will take over all the studios and auditoriums of the large building on the Jodenbreestraat.
