This Post-Graduation in Art Direction aims to enhance and develop skills within the various fields of artistic creation, proposing a practical and theoretical study programme that simultaneously prioritizes artistic education and its connection to professional contexts. Taking art direction as a main vector of inter-artistic crisscrossing, this study programme is developed in an interdisciplinary approach, seeking to summon students from multiple interests and backgrounds.
The Post-Graduation intents to conciliate different approaches and methods of experimentation, benefiting from ESAP’s inter-artistic setting that brings contributions from different artistic expressions, allowing at the same time the sharing of experiences. Hence, this post-graduation is aimed at both professionals and students from various areas: film, visual art, performing arts, theatre, dance, architecture, art history, photography, fashion design, advertising, among others.
The goal of this post-graduation in Art Direction is to provide the students with the following skills and knowledge:

Currently, SATH shares with the other departments of ESAP a research policy that goes through two types of actions:
1. The encouragement of the formation of research teams led by professors from SATH, through the funding of short-term collective research projects, ie ESAP Projects.
2. Raising students’ awareness of the research, through the provision of Credit Research Internships (ECI) carried out in the context of ongoing projects.
In 2015, three research projects are underway at SATH, one of which is related to the Degree in Theater:
