Who is pre-eminently the designer given carte blanche to design a space? To  create visual worlds for performances, exhibitions and events? With decor, video, sound, light and costumes? In collaboration with other makers? The scenographer of course! The Scenography study programme prepares you for this exciting profession.

What will you learn?

With the Scenography course you become an interdisciplinary visual maker with your own visual language. As a scenographer you operate at the intersection of visual arts and theatre. You give shape to a 'theatrical reality', by using the power of imagination. Starting from your personal fascinations, you make spaces and themes experienceable for your audience. You realize your artistic dreams in interdisciplinary collaboration with other makers: with directors, actors, producers, composers, dancers, mimers, writers, video artists, digital designers, exhibition makers, and so on.

'Theatre is a visual art, in which the scenographer bridges the gap between the speakable and the perceivable.'
Bart Visser, artistic director Scenography
