Welcome to the Theatre Studies website
Utrecht University Theatre Studies Department focuses on contemporary theatre and dance as intermedial, interdisciplinary, intercultural and international. Our areas of research focus are: dance; the theory and practice of dramaturgy; community arts; the impact of technology on contemporary performance practice; questions of embodiment and corporeality; and the relationships between the performing arts and visual culture.
This website describes our Departmental activities. It also reflects our evolving understanding of contemporary practice as one of hybrid projects that both respect and erase the borders of and between theatre, dance, visual arts, music, media and daily life.

Studio T, Kromme Nieuwegracht 20 Utrecht
In this masterclass we will investigate the work of Dries Verhoeven in close relation to the wider art scene and cultural climate in The Netherlands, in particular with an eye to drastic budget cuts characterizing current arts policy. Dries Verhoeven will reflect on and show parts of his work in relation to his own artistic development, and the crucial role of production houses in his career.
Particpants will be addressed as (future) dramaturges, and engaged in a dialogue on how to position ourselves in the current art scene, and the necessity of taking position in-between crises and potentiality more>>
