Actor development
The primary focus here is on acting in theatre and on screen, be it film, tv or digital media. Through a plethora of activities you will gain an understanding of the breadth of diversity within this discipline. Whether you choose to enter the profession or not, these experiences will hold you in good stead benefitting your self confidence and powers of communication.
At the beginning of the year you will be introduced to various working methods such as improvisation and “viewpoints“. This process will enable you to create strong impressions as an actor using your body and voice. The class will supply a secure environment for positive interaction through ensemble.
Throughout the year you will work on various projects. Sometimes these will be within the main subject, other times in cooperation with other main subjects facilitating for example live music for stage productions, sound for film, and collaboration with animation. These elements, apart from other things, give an insight into the real work of an actor.

Stage Productions
You will participate in three major productions in different genres, one of which will go on tour. These projects offer invaluable experience.
Screen
During the year we will have at least one short film project with a guest teacher. Through the making of a film you will learn about the processes that lay behind film production, for example; idea/script, storyboard, camera technique, and editing. Not least, you will gain the experience of acting in front of the camera: very different from stage acting.
Additionally we provide the opportunity to experiment with motion capture where you record scenes that are digitally transformed into animations. You can also provide voice acting for games and animations in our sound studio.
