BA/BS in Schauspiel

This acting programme trains students in both stage and screen acting on an equal footing. Blocks of classical theatre training alternate with camera acting, and the content of both areas builds on each other, leading up to a graduation film and a studio staging. Alongside scene study, monologue work and studio productions, students follow a programme of practice-oriented film exercises. Musical education is an important part, and instrumental lessons for voice and body accompany the main subjects. Theory teaching covers dramaturgy, character development, theatre and world literature, and the history of theatre, society, and media aesthetics. Students learn to contribute constructively to a team and to work across disciplines, for example on short films and camera exercises with directing, scenography and cinematography students. Teachers include experienced actors, directors, casting directors, agents and coaches.
