PassePartout

Performers Practice for professional theatre makers

PassePartout (established 1987) is a Dutch independent organisation promoting international exchange in the performing arts. PassePartout offers professional theatre makers opportunities to maintain and further develop their physical and creative potential by means of training, research and creation. Our high quality workshops research, broaden and intensify the performer’s communication. In the last 10 years PassePartout initiated more than 150 different events (workshops, seminars, lectures, festivals) in which reknown theatre professionals from all over the world were involved. They transmitted their experience and knowledge on younger and older collegues.
