Music Theatre Platform Ghent
Summer Academy (August 21st – September 10th 2017)

Organization

Music Theatre Platform Ghent (MTPG) is a new initiative by four partners, all physically located at the Bijlokesite in Ghent. The partnership includes LOD music theatre (production house), Music Centre De Bijloke (venue), KASK and Royal Conservatory (School of Arts of University College Ghent) and SPECTRA (ensemble for contemporary music). All partners are involved in the international fields of contemporary music theatre and transmedial performance. Their ways of working within the scene are different yet highly complementary as organizational forces of the Music Theatre Platform Ghent.

What

The Summer Academy involves a coaching of young makers, artistic teams and ensembles who are eager to develop an artistic idea within the field of contemporary music theatre and/or transmedial performance.

If you are selected to participate, the MTPG offers you a stay between 1 and 3 weeks in Ghent and a rehearsal space in one of the performance halls at the Bijlokesite
