HF x UvA: Writers Residency 2026

Fourteen University of Amsterdam (UvA) students (Dramaturgy and European Studies) and alumni write their reflections on the festival performances Atomic JoyBilderschlachtenYour Eyes in My Head / Sunday Without LovePassing RemarkA Possibility, and A Trial – after An Enemy of the People. What stands out to them?

 

The participants follow the festival closely and submit their initial reflections within 24 hours of seeing a performance, which they have exchanged with one another for feedback. Below, you can read the final results.

 

With this project, we create a platform for new voices and offer a younger generation of (emerging) writers the opportunity to develop a language for hybrid art forms for which no established vocabulary yet exists, including creative processes and multidisciplinary performances. During the Writers Residency, UvA students write and share their reflections on festival performances.
