Course structure.
Level 1
You attend the basic courses with fellow students from the Acting and Theatre Education programmes and, through your own experience, develop an understanding of acting techniques and character work. You develop your own sketches and try out basic directing skills and processes.
Level 2
Building on level 1, you broaden your expertise and expand your artistic range with performative approaches, research methods, analysis of dramatic theory and scenographic writing. You are introduced to a wide range of genres and strategies for staging (e.g. post dramatic theatre, documentary theatre, immersive theatre and musical theatre) and work independently by developing your own scenes and projects. Furthermore, you will also collaborate with other students from the Acting, Theatre Education and Stage Design majors. In the process, you will develop your own personal artistic stance and gain access to a large network of theatre professionals throughout your education.
Level 3
In collaboration with your fellow Acting and Stage Design students as well as students from the MA in Dramaturgy, you create and finalize a comprehensive project. You are responsible for delivering a concept, managing the rehearsal process and the performance itself. Topics are pre-defined and communicated in advance.
Graduation project
You complete a graduation project that reflects your aesthetic interests and represents your own artistic and sociopolitical understanding of the topic. In your Bachelor’s thesis, you discuss your previously defined topic from a theoretical perspective.
