DAS Theatre is an international, full-time, two-year Master of Art programme in performing arts. DAS Theatre welcomes a diversity of practices within the realm of theatre and performance. We create a learning environment for artists who wish to deepen, broaden, or shift their existing practices. We cultivate a temporary community of peers who are invited to become sensitive to each other and to the world; a community that uses theatre as a space for reflection, transformation and action.
DAS Theatre focuses on knowledge generation rather than knowledge transmission, while also seeing itself as a learning institute. We acknowledge that we have a long way to go towards diversifying the school, decolonizing, feminizing, and queering it—and this is a primary commitment.

VALUE & RISK
Strategies of teaching practical dramaturgy of contemporary performance.
A symposium
Amsterdam | 22–23 January 2027
CALL FOR ABSTRACTS
The teaching of practical dramaturgy today takes place within cultural, institutional and political conditions in which the values that have long structured public life are actively being renegotiated, questioned and redefined. These processes do not unfold in a neutral space.
Across different contexts, questions of truth, legitimacy, responsibility and artistic relevance are no longer shared frameworks, but contested fields of meaning. The task of teaching dramaturgy is therefore not simply to transmit methods or knowledge, but to engage with the unstable conditions under which such knowledge becomes meaningful at all. Teaching dramaturgy means working with uncertainty—not as an exception, but as a constitutive condition.
This symposium proposes to think of value and risk as interrelated conditions of pedagogical and artistic practice. Value is approached not as a fixed economic measure, but as orientation: what matters, what guides decisions, what is considered worth investing time, attention and commitment in. Risk is not understood simply as danger, but as the condition through which values become visible, tested, and reconfigured in practice.
Send your proposal (200 words max abstract of the presentation and 200 words max bio) to: [email protected] before September 30th 2026.
You will be notified by October 30th 2026.
The symposium is conceived as a working space for collective exchange on how dramaturgy is taught and transmitted under these conditions.
The sessions will consist of short presentations (max. 15 minutes), demonstrations of methods or exercises, and strategy-based contributions that serve as a basis for discussion.

Last week, our first-year DAS Theatre students opened the doors of their studios, inviting audiences into their ongoing research.
In the summer presentations, Robin shared their research on duration, anticipation, expectation, and exhaustion; contemplating them as atmospheric states rather than narrative events. Through sound, media systems, live composition, and performance, he explored what happens when a moment is stretched until it becomes a world of its own, and what it means to remain inside something long after the point of exhaustion.
Robin Plenio is a music theatre maker, composer and media artist.
What happens to the time before something arrives, what it means to stretch a moment until it becomes a world, what it is to keep playing past the point of meaning? working with these questions, Robin practices a world building exercise between performers, media systems, and audiences.

Today and tomorrow our first year students share their work in progress.
Kirutharshan Nicholas is a theatre maker and traveler from Jaffna, Sri Lanka; Through storytelling, memory, and personal reflection, this traveler’s travel explores questions of identity, belonging, migration, and the circles that shape our lives.
Moving between the intimate and the collective, Kiru’s work weaves together history, inheritance, displacement, and human connection, inviting audiences to reflect on how we locate ourselves within families, communities, and changing worlds. In a poetic and thought-provoking journey he asks what it means to belong, and how we carry ourselves across borders, generations, and time.

At the moment Isobel is in her studio researching the body as a site of misperformance and misunderstanding. The body keeps getting it wrong. Or gets it right in ways that cannot be repeated.
A clown and a philosopher are having sex with the lights on and the curtains open. You are sitting in a café wearing a beret. You are embarrassed that you might run into someone you know, but for some reason you do not take the beret off.
Being human is humiliating. Let’s start here.
Drawing from philosophy, clowning, and performance experiment, Isobel approaches embarrassment as an unstable threshold between humour and violence - an inescapable condition of embodiment: having a body that is visible, interpretable, and never entirely under your control.
During Summer Presentations, Isobel invites audiences to visit an unfolding research process where ordinary acts of having, using, and being a body become playful, troubled, and strange. The body appears not as something we possess, but as something that keeps performing us.
This Monday and Tuesday! See you there!

Isidora Goncić is a theatre director and performance artist.
Her current research focuses on personal history and familiar narratives of shame, intimacy, memory, vulnerability, and womanhood.
Using autobiographical storytelling and contemporary performance, Isidora shares a work where what begins as an awkward first date slowly turns into an encounter with medicine, fertility, and the expectations attached to a woman. Somewhere between comedy and a panic attack, she keeps asking for a sign that everything is “okay”.
Tickets available on our website!

Elias Adam (b.1991, Greece) is a theatre director and writer.
Elias works with ruptures in reality, identity, and structures of meaning-making in our hyper-mediated world. He moves through the ongoing horrors and fragmentation of modernity.
Through a personal video archive, Elias reflects on a universe where continuity and coherence constantly fall apart. Rather than looking for orientation or explanation, his work stays with instability, inviting the audience to get lost together inside a reality that cannot be fully grasped. Meaning is continuously deferred, perception destabilized, and authorship itself begins to dissolve. Spectatorship here does not come from understanding, but from the impossibility of deciding what is happening.
Come experience Elias’ presentation at DAS Theatre coming Monday and Tuesday, June 8 and 9. Tickets online!

Like every year at DAS Theatre, our first-year students open the doors of their studios to share their work-in-progress.
As member of cohort 2027, Artūrs Čukurs will share his work on June 8 and 9.
Artūrs is a theatre maker and singer from Latvia.
At the moment Artūrs is in his studio, researching the ability of language to dismantle reality and build it anew. Every time we speak, a world is created. At that very same moment, a different world ceases to exist. Different ways of speaking enable different worlds to persist. And with them – different logics, traps and possibilities.
During Summer Presentations Artūrs invites the audience to be with worlds that emerge while we speak – evolving, declining, arising from the rubble just to fall again – until it is impossible to tell creation and destruction apart.
