a.pass is a post-master artistic research environment containing two study programmes: a.pt and a.s.

a.pt (advanced performance training) is mainly aimed at artists and theoreticians with proven experience in developing work in the performance field who want to question their own work, re-evaluate their trajectory, or explore a fascination that doesn't fit institutional standards.

a.s (advanced scenography) welcomes artists and theoreticians who want to investigate the notion of scenography on and off the stage. The programme offers practice-based artistic and theoretical input to professionals and newcomers in the field who wish to expand their thinking about scenography.

a.pass welcomes participants with a master's degree in either a practical or theoretical study programme and invites them to develop a personal practice-based research project, using the principles of self-organization and collaboration.

The a.pass training programme (both a.pt and a.s) takes 12 months and is organized in a rotating system of three blocks of three months each. At the start of each block new participants are admitted on the basis of their research proposals. At the end of the programme the participants present the results of their research to the public.

Based on the same principles of transdisciplinarity a.pass operates an autonomous research platform that can be used in the development of a PhD in the Arts.
