Using the moving body in the (scenographic) space, the acquired competences of 1BA and 2BA are explored performatively and in depth in terms of content. Social, organisational and practical skills are further developed. The designer is activated in practice by collaborating with various artistic parties including students in training and performers from the professional field of the performative arts.
