International Festivalcampus

Once again in 2020 the Ruhrtriennale will invite 200 students from more than 15 international art and theatre schools to its festival campus. Together they will explore festival productions in workshops and seminars, engage in lively discussions with the artists about their work and gain valuable insights behind the scenes of the festival from the Artistic Director and her festival team. The campus programme, which is one of the largest in the world, creates spaces for encounters: between established artists and young creatives, between successful members of the avant-garde and subversive experiments, between arts practitioners with very different ways of working from a wide range of cultural contexts. Here practical experimentation meets theoretical reflection – on a scale and with a radicalism and intensity that only an international festival can offer.
