Introduction
Degree Program in Comparative Dramaturgy and Performance Research
CDPR’s goal is to educate internationally active professionals with the ability and determination to go beyond a wide range of boundaries – artistic, cultural, linguistic and disciplinary – in order to create inventive performances.
The CDPR program trains students to become research-oriented artists with the necessary knowledge and skills to deal with issues of their choice in and through the performing arts.
The curriculum prepares students for important challenges that have shaped the field of performing arts in recent decades, such as the expansion of the concepts of performance and dramaturgy; shifts in what constitutes the work of the dramaturge; changes in the relationship between art and research; and increased international and multidisciplinary collaboration.
The double-degree students delve into diverse performance and research practices and gain a detailed understanding of different local performing arts scenes. Students will develop an ability to compare and connect different artistic practices, cultural systems, languages and fields of research – to act as an active intermediator among them.
Students enter the program with an existing performance practice and a preliminary master’s research plan, giving direction to their studies from the outset. The plan is revised and expanded during the studies.
The CDPR program is four semesters in length and requires full-time residency. The study program is comprehensive and demanding.
Scholarships and Funding
Several scholarship options are available. Please check the university website for more information.
Program Outcome
Master of Arts (Theatre and Drama). Double master’s degree from two universities. You can apply to: master's (2 years)
A master’s degree gives eligibility to complete a Doctor of Arts (Theatre) degree, for example, as a third-cycle degree.
Should students be interested in going on to practice-led doctoral studies, the goal of the CDPR program is to provide them with the necessary knowledge and skills to do so.
