Classes will be held at Codarts Rotterdam, one block from the Rotterdam Central Station. CODARTS is the University of Performing Arts in Rotterdam (Hogeschool voor de Kunsten). It is just opposite the Central Station of Rotterdam.
You walk out of the station through the main entrance (side of platform 1).
You cross the big square, and you see at your left hand a big building: the Manhattan Hotel.
The second building at your left hand is Codarts!
We work in room 5.22 on the fifth floor.
