Amsterdam’s International Theatre School Festival (ITs) will be held 19 to 24 Jun 2019 in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Amsterdam’s International Theatre School Festival (ITs) brings the best of new theatrical talent to stages across Amsterdam. Each year at the end of June graduating actors, dancers, mime artists, film directors and other performing artists, national and international, will make their first appearance at several professional theatres in Amsterdam’s city centre. The ITs is the biggest European student festival with over 200 theatre talents in more than 50 unique productions. Alongside the productions, the festival programme is filled with inspiring debates, lectures and workshops. Amsterdam’s International Theatre School Festival (ITs) is an event and I like events...
ITs connects young, graduating theatre and dance talents with programmers and other professionals, press and audience, on both a national and international level. By doing so, ITs Festival Amsterdam is the ideal stepping stone to a successful (international) career in the field of performing arts.
Stimulation and promotion of artistic exchange and encounter
Talent development and working towards (more) profound skills
New (inter)national alliances
A constant flow from the academy towards the professional performing arts
The ITs program comprises final projects of graduating actors, directors, mime performers, choreographers, dancers, stage designers and others, all presented in the main black box theatres of Amsterdam. Next to the performances, ITs offers debates, workshops, talk shows and of course after parties.
ITs’ main objective is to bridge the gap between the arts academy and the professional world. For emerging artists, we can be a stepping-stone towards an international career. For (international) scouts, impresarios, directors, programmers and general audiences it's the place to see a cross section of the new generation of performing artists.
