The Director

[2025]

An opening in the Artscience department for a new interim Head of Department sets me on a new course: to become the first student director.


Questions I had:

  • How seriously should I take this application? Will I even be considered as a serious applicant?
  • Is it better to propose somethingradical as a provocation or something realistic?
  • Do I really want this job or just the idea?
  • Do we really need a head of department?
  • What would it look like to run the department autonomously and bottom up?

With one week until the deadline, I frantically set about getting the advice I need to take on this role.


Who I spoke to:


  • Sher Doruff...
    Performance Researcher, ATD
  • Rachel Uwa...
    Director of independent art tech school, School of Machines
  • Friends at Film Arch...
    Student-run film school in Berlin
  • Huug de Deugh...
    Executive Head of The Hague University of the Arts

A book that inspired me along the way.
