Providing a stage to the final-year projects and tests of students from various Porto art schools is one of our distinguishing features. Art Schools at the TNSJ is a programme that builds bridges between academic training and a professional future. The shows and public presentations created by the final-year Dance and Theatre students of Balleteatro, Dramatic Arts/Actor Training students of Universidade Lusófona do Porto and Theatre students of ESAP are live experimental exercises that offer opportunities for engaging with members of the artistic milieu.
