Each theory tutor thematically steers and leads a series of regular two-or- three days long plenary study sessions. Both students in their first as well as in their second year of study must complete one full HTDTWT-seminar over the course of each academic year (two HTDTWT-seminars in total during DAI's two year study-trajectory).

The HTDTWT seminars presented by the DAI in previous years are listed under the bio's of each the tutors or can be found under CONTINUUM: Chrono~archive .

In preparation for the intensive gatherings the students read a variety of carefully selected theoretical texts. Cinematic, aural and other works can be presented for collective analysis as well. Active participation and input from the students is required.The composition of each seminar group is mixed: first and second year students read, discuss and study together.
