Edinburgh Study Abroad
Edinburgh Fringe Festival
Study the arts abroad through the Entertainment & Arts Management program in Dublin, Ireland! EAM students have the opportunity to participate in a fall study abroad intensive at the Dublin Fringe Festival. An internationally renowned festival, Dublin Fringe is a fully curated (unlike most fringes), multi-disciplinary festival and year-round organization focusing on fresh and innovative approaches to the arts from Irish and international makers. The event includes more than 500 performances of every genre by up to 80 artists and companies from more than a dozen countries at more than 30 venues around the city. Followed by fans and first timers alike, Dublin Fringe Festival draws more than 30,000 spectators for 16 days and nights each September, transforming Dublin into an exposé of great creative talent from around the globe.
The Fall Break in Ireland Intensive Course Abroad is a fall break study abroad program and is open to all Drexel students. In this intensive program, students will attend lectures and workshops by a variety of experienced professionals both in administration and production, tour a variety of venues, attend multiple performing and visual art shows, and network with industry professionals from around the world. Coursework will include a pre-departure class session, assignments, and readings, as well as lab hours that include volunteering for the Festival and matching students with artists working directly on the Festival. Students will get hands-on learning opportunities to work in a variety of venues throughout the city. Students can work within their areas of interest including press and publicity, technical production, marketing and content creation, fundraising, or front of house management/audience services.
The Fall Break in Ireland program is led by Program Director Shannon Lacek, who lived and worked in Ireland for several years and has experience with international performance festivals.
