    New program: Master in Scenic Arts (MArS)

    In 2025, La Manufacture will launch the Master in Scenic Arts (MArS – Master en Arts scéniques), an interdisciplinary program unique in Switzerland and Europe.

    The opening of this new Master's degree is based on a complete revision of the Master's degree in Theatre, which will disappear in favour of a new training programme in Scenic Arts, based on interdisciplinarity and the integration of immersion courses in professional structures.

    This new Master in Scenic Arts will include 12 students per class from the fields of choreography, stage direction and scenography, reinforcing its interdisciplinary nature, with a new entry every two years, thus guaranteeing individualised pedagogical support.

    The Master's in Scenic Arts is aimed at young artists who have already trained or practised in the fields of scenography, directing or choreography. It is also open to artists in activity who wish to diversify their career paths, cross-fertilise and broaden their practices. The aim of the course is to develop a personal artistic approach and acquire the tools necessary to become competent artistic project leaders, while strengthening their professional foundations.

    The curriculum is divided into five modules, which run across the four semesters of the course, alternating continuously between block-teaching workshops, integrative training and professional placements, research practice through participation in specific projects, and autonomous artistic experimentation.

    The first session will start in autumn 2025. Admissions will be by audition, with registrations opening en of January 2025.
