No matter if you have questions about your business, the direction of your artistic activity, studies or professional orientation, further qualifications, concepts and projects.

Seminars and Workshops

In the seminars we emphasize a balance of knowledge input by the experts and a practical orientation with goal-oriented exercises and intensive exchange. In some workshops, we will focus on the practical, while working under the guidance of experts. Here you can reflect and develop your own projects, topics, materials or questions with the help of the expert and the other participants.


The project "Production and management - qualification in the context of movement art 4" is designed by Seneca Intensiv. It is funded by the European Social Fund (ESF) and the Senate Department for Culture and Europe. Thus, there are no fees for participation.
