Codarts Kick-Off Week

Every year, Codarts organises an introduction week called Kick-Off Week for bachelor students. During this week you discover what Codarts and the city of Rotterdam have to offer you, but more importantly: you get to know each other. The Kick-Off Week takes place in the last week of August. This year it will be from 25 till 29 August 2025.
Not only will we show you around in our buildings, you will also take part in the cross-over project. Together with students from the dance, music, circus, education and music theatre departments, you will create a performance in one week. At the end of the week, each group presents the result during the Kick-Off mini-festival. We are already looking forward to the next edition!
In order to prepare you as well as possible, we have listed a few things in advance.
