(Inter)national Artistic Cooperations
Applied Theatre Studies
The international outlook is evident throughout the institute and integral to its teaching practice (not only in the theatre studies modules but also in the related philological modules). The institute strives for an open exposure to a variety of different cultures and languages, inviting guest professors from such varying cultural conexts as the US, the Libanon, India, China amongst others. Normally, these classes will be taught in English.
Regularly, the performance projects include project-based artistic cooperations with other European universities and art schools. During these projects students from Gießen will will work together with students from the participating institutes, such as the Music Academy RITS, Brussels, the media laboratory La Fabbrica, Treviso, Italy, the Academy for Fine Arts, Vienna, the IUAV Venetia, the Conservatory in Lyon, the Academy for Fine Arts in Utrecht und der Theatre Academy Prague. In addition, the institute has developed numerous links with other partner universities through the ERASMUS+ program.
