    Theater

    The Theatre discipline places contemporary theatre practice at the centre of its teaching and offers comprehensive practical training at Bachelor’s level through specialised Major programmes in Acting, Theatre Education, Directing and Scenography. The interdisciplinary Master Major Theater focuses on experimental formats and artistic research practices that explore and expand the concept of theatre.

    Major Bachelor of Arts in Theater

    The Bachelor of Arts in Theatre provides students with the artistic, creative and theoretical foundations of professional theatre practice. Students develop their individual artistic expression, explore different artistic methods and gain practical experience through individual and collaborative theatre projects.

    The Bachelor's programme comprises four Majors:

    Acting: The focus is on developing an individual acting style and exploring different performance techniques, physical expression, voice and contemporary forms of theatre. Students are prepared for professional careers as actors. 
    Directing: The Major encourages the development of an individual artistic vision in theatre directing. Students explore staging, dramaturgy, artistic concepts and collaboration across different theatre disciplines. 
    Scenography: The Major focuses on the design and exploration of spaces for performative and theatrical expression. Students develop spatial concepts and engage with scenography, materiality and the relationship between space, body and audience. 
    Theatre Education: The focus is on facilitating and shaping artistic processes with diverse social groups. Students combine practical theatre work with educational and artistic approaches and develop their own participatory theatre formats.

    Major Master of Arts in Theater (MATch)

    The Master of Arts in Theatre (MATch) is designed for students who wish to deepen, further develop and rethink their artistic practice in the context of contemporary theatre. The programme focuses on the development of independent artistic projects, collaborative working methods and the exploration of social, political and aesthetic questions. The Master's programme encourages experimental and transdisciplinary approaches, creating space for artistic research and new forms of theatre-making. Students work in a variety of artistic constellations, develop their own projects and expand their professional networks. Exchange with international artists, researchers and institutions connects the programme with current developments in theatre practice.
