What you will study

The two-year foundation course teaches directing craft in practical exercises, scene studies and theoretical seminars, with an acting basic course, performance analysis, dramaturgy, theatre history, stage design and costume, movement and voice, mask and music, rehearsal methods and verse. At least four directing assignments are completed before the Vordiplom after the fourth semester. The main phase centres on a third-year project on the university stages and a fourth-year Diplom project under professional conditions at the bat or a partner theatre.
