EXA GradSch
TM
A Partner Institute of European Graduate School
Welcome to EXA GradSch or Expressive Arts Graduate School.
Based in Singapore, we are a partner institute of the European Graduate School based in Switzerland.
​
The expressive arts include all modalities of arts that allow us to express our thoughts, emotions and voices.
These modalities include and are not limited to the visual arts, music, sounds, dance, movements,
creative writing, drama, performing arts, etc.
​
At the heart of this interdisciplinary field are the applicative use of the expressive arts in the professional fields of
therapy; coaching and consulting; as well as conflict transformation and peace-building.
​
Working in an intermodal way with various art forms, it is possible to connect
to the present moment what the future holds through imaginary explorations.
This dynamic process of problem-solving through intermodal arts-based solution-conceptions
is useful as an intrapersonal tool as well as an interpersonal enabler in a creative community.
Confidence and new perspectives emerge as practitioners grow and are shaped
in their developmental processes towards attaining fulfilment in their lives.
