Course content

Read the study guide
Acting
The course Acting has a structural structure. First, you start with the pure text analysis of drama works in the native language (for foreign students in English, French or German). This is applied in primary acting techniques (monologue or dialogue form). In a second phase, music is added. Then we move on to arias and later ensembles. In the first semester we work in a small group, in the second semester we work thematically in larger groups in workshops.

Scenic improvisation
- Improvisation exercises
- carrying out acting assignments that enable the student to explore fantasy and empathy
- general preparation for later acting lessons

Study material (text): Mandatory

CD recordings
Visual material
Theatre texts/ scores
Most of the acting lessons take place in the presence of a repetiteur for the musical accompaniment (piano)
