In the Focusing on Creation module, the emphasis is on artistic resources, interests and their possible transdisciplinary connections with regard to artistic practice. By undertaking individual mentoring and coaching sessions, students develop a major artistic focus and learn the related skills to immerse themselves intensively in the creation process, reflect on it and position it in extended contexts.
This module focuses on and encourages artistic practice, and offers a connection to and in-depth consolidation in the CAS Creation & Scenario in Music.
