In-space

Coco Duivenvoorde (DAI, 2015) dancing with Ueinzz Theatre Company in São Paulo during a roaming workshop as part of the year long DAI course To Make A Work ~ Molecular Revolutions (2015). DAI's guide in São Paulo was Wanderley Santos. Ueinzz bout Ueinzz: " We are the Ueinzz Theatre Company, established in São Paulo, Brazil eighteen years ago. Lunatics, therapists, performers, maids, philosophers, ‘normopaths’... Once on stage, no one can tell the difference."

In-space is an online supportive collective thinking space to reflect on issues around your own and others’ experiences as a member of the DAI community. This is an organic process where all students can explore their concerns about race, gender, sexuality, mental health, culture and beyond.

In-space is confidentially guided by Wanderley Santos, who, by means of introduction, will join us "in real life" for a day during DAI Confluence 1 (November, 2024) at PAF.

Online sessions for individual students or small groups of students can be organised upon request. Contact details will be provided in due course. 

Please note: 

In-space will not provide psycho-therapy.

In-space functions independently from the care and support structures provided by the overriding ArtEZ University of the Arts (see our Rights, Care & Support page).  

In-space is not playing any role in the day to day management and politics of the DAI's program and curriculum, let alone the governance and control structure of ArtEZ University of the Arts. If you would like to bring your institutional concerns or recommendations to the DAI, the General Assembly as well as the Council are the proper bodies for that. At the level of ArtEZ there are also fora, such as the Participation Council.

That said: In-space might be able to help you cope with disappointment, anger and frustration and think through productive ways of adressing (the humans of) the institution.

In-space in 2022 was funded through a special budget from the NPO, the National Education Program. In 2023 it is funded with a special budget deriving from the so-called, Kwaliteitsafspraken (Quality agreements) with the Dutch Minister of Education.
