Second Year
4th to 6th trimester |
|
In their second year, students will work intensively
within the group, exploring the most important epochs in the history
of theatre: Greek- Shakespeare- Classical/ Romantic/ Realism. The
resulting pieces will be in staged and performed to the general
public.
The student learns how to deal with different
acting techniques and forms of presentation and receives an introduction
in the work infront of the camera.
At the same time as the scene work, students will
also receive one-to-one or small group tuition in speech and singing.
The emphasis will be on the monologue as well as on epic and lyric
texts. In order for the students to develop their performance
skills, these lessons will be presented in the form of readings
and performances.
|
|
|
Subjects: |
Scene work (dialogue, lyric
and epic text, project work), speech, dance, singing, physical technique,
acting theory, intorduction in carmera acting etc.
|
|
Third Year
7th to 10th trimester |
|
In their third year the students will concentrate
on their personal nature. They will be encouraged to find their
own tone and playing field. The tuition for this year is very individual.
The goal of this training is for each student to develop
their own repertoire of audition monologues and/or their own projects
for their final exams, as well as the discovery and development
of their individual articulation as artists.
In
project works (a fairy tale production, participation in productions
of "theaterburg Rosslau", the "Chekh-off players"
or in studio projects or self-produced productions by the students),
the students gather stage experiences. In
addition, the play in front of the camera will be deepened.
|
|
|
Subjects: |
Improvisation (emphasis on
'authenticity' and 'performance methods'), speech, singing, physical
technique, scene work, camera acting, etc. |
Requirements |
|
To enter the basic year, you have to take part in
an audition.
To be included in the 2nd year, you must have successfully completed
the basic year. The successful completion of the basic year chooses
an intermediate examination.
Applicants who already have a basic acting training can opt to skip
the Foundation Year. Depending on their audition we would decide
whether they should start in the second or the third year.
These applicants should prepare two scenes from different plays
and epochs (max length: 5 minutes), as well as a poem or a short
story. They should also have an excellent working knowledge of the
Chekhov method and a basic understanding of den Stanislawski-System.
