Summerlab
Summercourse 2025

13.7.-20.7.2025

The course offers the unique oppor­tu­nity to work speci­fi­cally in one’s own subject as well as to observe other art disci­plines and gain inspi­ra­tion for one’s own artistic prac­tice. In terms of content, the programme is aimed at musi­cians as well as students of visual, media and perfor­ming arts with a focus on dance.

This year, the SummerLab is embedded in the world-famous festival ‘Cantiere Inter­na­zio­nale d’Arte di Monte­pul­ciano’, which was founded by the composer Hans Werner Henze in 1976.

The follo­wing NOTES apply to parti­ci­pa­tion: The costs for the transfer to Monte­pul­ciano (planned: joint group arrival and depar­ture in a coach over­night, depar­ture from NRW: Saturday 12 July; return to NRW: 21 July) and for the accom­mo­da­tion of the parti­ci­pants in flats on site will be borne by the College. Cate­ring costs (cooking faci­li­ties avail­able in the flats) are borne by the parti­ci­pants. Students pay a personal cont­ri­bu­tion of 130 euros to secure their parti­ci­pa­tion.
