• fi­nan­ci­al sup­port for stu­dent in­ter­di­sci­pli­na­ry re­se­arch pro­jec­ts of up to 2.500€
• dra­ma­tur­gi­cal and or­ga­ni­za­tio­nal con­sul­ting for the con­cep­ti­on and rea­li­za­ti­on of stu­dent-in­itia­ted in­ter­di­sci­pli­na­ry pro­jec­ts
• the use of the rooms and tech­ni­cal in­fra­st­ruc­tu­re of the HfMDK Frank­furt

For the ap­p­li­ca­ti­on is nee­ded:

• the com­ple­ted ap­p­li­ca­ti­on form (in­for­ma­ti­on about the ap­p­li­cant, the team in­vol­ved, the pro­ject pe­ri­od, the pre­sen­ta­ti­on form and the pre­sen­ta­ti­on lo­ca­ti­on, as well as the name of a men­tor)
• a pro­ject con­cept (2-3 pa­ges), which de­scri­bes the idea and im­ple­men­ta­ti­on of the pro­ject
• a de­tail­ed cost plan

Tris­tan Steeg ad­vi­ses and ac­com­pa­nies the ap­p­li­ca­ti­on pro­cess. It is stron­gly re­com­men­ded to con­tact him in time be­fo­re ap­p­ly­ing: Tris­tan.Steeg@hfmdk-frank­furt.de

All stu­dents en­rol­led at the HfMDK Frank­furt.

You can ap­p­ly with stu­dent pro­jec­ts in which at least two stu­dents of the HfMDK Frank­furt are in­vol­ved.

The pro­jec­ts should have an in­ter­di­sci­pli­na­ry cha­rac­ter in ap­proach, working me­thod and form of pre­sen­ta­ti­on.

A co-crea­ti­ve con­cept de­ve­lop­ment and working me­thod are ex­pli­citly de­si­red in the con­text of in­ter­di­sci­pli­na­ry pro­ject work.

The pro­jec­ts can be pre­sen­ted in dif­fe­rent forms such as sce­nic and con­cert sta­ge works, in­stal­la­ti­ons, films, ac­tions, ect.

Pro­jec­ts should be ex­tra­cur­ri­cu­lar. The ap­p­li­ca­ti­on of cur­ri­cu­lar pro­jec­ts, e.g. own work in elec­tive sub­jec­ts or fi­nal the­ses, is pos­si­ble if no fun­ding can be pro­vi­ded by the re­spec­tive de­part­ment; howe­ver, the pro­jec­ts should be in­de­pendent­ly con­cei­ved and rea­li­zed by the stu­dents.

• Ap­p­li­ca­ti­ons are ge­ne­ral­ly pos­si­ble twice a year: at the end of the win­ter se­mes­ter for the fol­lo­wing sum­mer se­mes­ter and at the end of the sum­mer se­mes­ter for the fol­lo­wing win­ter se­mes­ter
• The pre­sen­ta­ti­on of the pro­jec­ts should be plan­ned and car­ri­ed out wi­t­hin the win­ter or sum­mer se­mes­ter fol­lo­wing the ap­p­li­ca­ti­on.

The Kunst­PAKT ap­p­li­ca­ti­ons are dis­cus­sed in de­tail by a jury ac­cord­ing to the cri­te­ria of in­ter­di­sci­pli­na­ri­ty, stu­dents' own work, and fe­a­si­bi­li­ty; as a rule, three to five pro­jec­ts are selec­ted each se­mes­ter.

The ap­p­li­cants of all ap­pro­ved ap­p­li­ca­ti­ons are in­di­vi­dual­ly sup­por­ted in or­ga­ni­za­tio­nal, fi­nan­ci­al and con­trac­tu­al mat­ters.

The men­tor also ac­com­pa­nies the rehe­ar­sals and per­for­man­ces in ques­ti­ons of con­tent and ae­s­the­tics and is avail­ab­le as a con­tact per­son.
