A series of experimental, non-institutional learning situations that keep changing location, time and context

Together with Theater Gasthuis, An Academy is a series of experimental, non-institutional learning situations that keep changing location, time and context. In 2005 and 2006, An Academy was hosted by the Holland Festival and invited ten makers from different disciplines to investigate the festival as a learning zone.

The initiative is a follow-up of the ‘Young makers tour’, conceived by Nicole Beutler / LISA for the Holland Festival 2004.

“What do we, young theatre makers, want of this festival, of this city? What can we achieve from our position as a parasite?”
