Popular Culture
Are you a future artist? At the Academy of Popular Culture, we will coach you to become an artistic professional and creative entrepreneur. To achieve your ambitions in the artistic world, you will create work as a performer, as a writer/composer or as a visualiser/ designer while forging connections with your prospective audience. You want to make an impact with the concepts you create. In order to do so, you will work with students of other disciplines to produce an interdisciplinary performance.
What will you be studying?
The Academy of Popular Culture has various learning environments within which the student studies and is supervised, and zooms in or out on professional practice. The study counsellor monitors the big picture. This is where you start your learning path by setting your ambition goals and coming up with a project in its direction. In the Production House, you shape that project, while in the Labs you develop the knowledge, skills and attitude you need to do so.
As a professional, you gain inspiration from your own ambitions as well as your engagement with your audience and with society in general. You want to contribute and make an impact with your story. This is something you'll rarely do on your own: to make your projects come to life, you'll need to work with others who can help you with things that you're not (yet) familiar with. You'll be learning as part of a community whose members inspire each other. The main focus throughout this broad, interdisciplinary degree programme is on the creation of products for an audience. Sharing your story with the audience is the key to making an impact. The Academy of Popular Culture is located in the bustling cultural hotspot that is the northern student city of Leeuwarden.
