I am interested in the Theatre/Performing Arts Teaching Programme
Bachelor's Degree
-
The programme covers the areas of professional practice, theory and didactics.
-
The professional practice includes acting basics, speech training, body/movement and contemporary forms of theatre.
-
The theory element includes: the theory and history of the theatre and theatre pedagogy as well as dramaturgy.
-
The didactics element includes the basics of group and project work, ensemble formation, guidance for scenic design processes and reflection on theatre work at school.
-
You will study theatre in conjunction with a second academic subject that is completed at one of Berlin's universities (Freie Universität Berlin, Humboldt Universität zu Berlin, Technische Universität Berlin).
Master's Degree
-
The master's programme builds on the bachelor's degree course and consolidates artistic-pedagogical teaching practice and reflection.
-
The programme enables an in-depth examination of artistic practice and theory. The master's degree course includes a practical semester during which the reality of subsequent professional life can be experienced over a whole semester and reflected on in accompanying university events.
-
The practical semester is carried out in cooperation with the Berlin university (Freie Universität Berlin, Humboldt Universität zu Berlin, Technische Universität Berlin), where you are studying your second subject.
What can you expect?
Your artistic identity will be deepened by examining different artistic/academic positions in theatre art as well as techniques and working methods during your studies.
You will grapple with fundamental questions of performative teaching and learning. Through artistic projects in a group, ensemble formation, guidance for acting and design processes, you will gain exemplary and practice-oriented experience in the planning, implementation and follow-up of projects and instruction in the theatre field.
