Salzburg Easter School

The Salzburg Easter School is an annual, high-profile PhD-forum for young researchers, both doctoral and advanced MA level, and artists from all over the world who wish to share and deepen their research in a transdisciplinary environment bringing academia and the arts together in one of Europe’s leading cultural cities.
SEAS is dedicated to the dialogue of cultural theory and artistic practice and aims to foster the understanding of cultural diversity and traditions. By opening regional arts productions to global debates, the Salzburg Easter School bridges the gap between cultural and literary theory and cultural events, stage productions and performances.
SEAS offers workshops in festival management, seminars and discussions with Europe’s creative and theatrical elite, as well as exclusive access to Salzburg’s cultural institutions. Previous workshops have included topics such as innovation in the arts, carnival cultures, mirrors and doubles and critical perspectives as well as in-depth musical and dramaturgical introductions to productions. Participants will be offered the opportunity to present their own research in poster and oral contributions and can expect interesting, relevant and engaging dialogue.
SEAS is held in the context of the prestigious Salzburg Easter Festival and offers participants the unique opportunity to experience the Festival’s fringe, including behind-the-scenes insights into the opera production with exclusive access to the dress rehearsal of the annual opera production.
SEAS is held annually in spring on the premises of Salzburg University and takes place in the historic city centre of Salzburg. The total cost amounts to €300, which includes all sessions and the cultural fringe, coffee breaks and daily lunch as well as a SEAS dinner. Accommodation can be arranged by the organisers in Salzburg’s historic city at a very reasonable rate.
SEAS participants will receive a certificate and a copy of their poster and become members of the alumni-network.
