Fa­cul­ty 3

In its sub­ject are­as, Fa­cul­ty 3 re­p­res­ents the ar­tis­tic di­ver­si­ty of the per­forming arts in its bran­ches and gen­res in the area of pu­blic in­sti­tu­ti­ons and the in­de­pen­dent sce­ne.

The self-image and iden­ti­ty of Fa­cul­ty 3 is to pre­pa­re our stu­dents for the rea­li­ty in the per­forming arts and to ac­com­pa­ny them un­til the be­gin­ning of their pro­fes­sio­nal ca­re­ers. The fa­cul­ty also aims to be a dri­ving force in the per­forming arts bey­ond the uni­ver­si­ty bounda­ries, with new con­cep­ti­ons, tech­ni­ques, for­mats and pu­bli­ca­ti­ons. The gui­ding mo­ti­va­tions, mo­ti­ves and princi­ples are con­ti­nuous de­ve­lop­ment, pre­sence and vi­si­bi­li­ty. In ad­di­ti­on to a gre­at cu­rio­si­ty about cur­rent de­ve­lop­ments in the per­forming arts, this in­vol­ves a li­vely cul­tu­re of de­ba­te, con­stant re­flec­tion and ex­ten­si­ve net­wor­king.

Al­ways on the move, wi­de­ly net­wor­ked

Fa­cul­ty 3 is in con­stant mo­ti­on. A strong pro­fi­le wi­t­hin the de­gree pro­grams and as a de­part­ment, net­wor­king wi­t­hin the uni­ver­si­ty and ex­tern­al­ly, as well as ac­tive co-de­sign are at the core of our self-image.

Bey­ond the fa­cul­ty coun­cil and the de­an's of­fice as de­cisi­on-ma­king bo­dies, working mee­tings, sym­po­sia and fu­ture con­fe­ren­ces are used to de­ve­lop, im­ple­ment and re­view com­mon ob­jec­tives.

On sta­ge, in prac­tice: The Hes­si­an Thea­ter Aca­de­my

Through mem­bership in the Hes­si­an Thea­ter Aca­de­my, on who­se board the cour­se di­rec­tors of De­part­ment 3 are re­p­re­sen­ted, net­wor­king bet­ween the cour­ses and the Hes­si­an thea­ters is de­ve­lo­ped on a pro­ject-by-pro­ject ba­sis. In this coope­ra­ti­on, which is uni­que in Ger­ma­ny, stu­dents have the op­por­tu­ni­ty to gain prac­ti­cal work ex­pe­ri­ence at part­ner thea­ters while still stu­dy­ing and to net­work wi­t­hin the va­rious Hes­si­an de­gree pro­grams in the field of work. New forms of coope­ra­ti­on wi­t­hin the frame­work of the Hes­si­an Thea­ter Aca­de­my are to be con­ti­nuous­ly de­ve­lo­ped and pro­mo­ted.

Bey­ond the Hes­si­an Thea­t­re Aca­de­my, the fa­cul­ty is cha­rac­te­ri­zed by a va­rie­ty of na­tio­nal and in­ter­na­tio­nal coope­ra­ti­ons, which are ai­med at pre­pa­ring stu­dents in the best pos­si­ble way for a chan­ging field of work.
