Annotation

The degree course provides you with fundamental knowledge of theatre history and theatre studies as well as basic technical artistic skills enabling you to work independently on rehearsal stages and in studios.
In the arts, the distinction between teaching and research is partially blurred, meaning that some of your performance projects will involve you exploring new artistic directions. Artistic training is not only understood as the teaching of sound technical skills, but also as a laboratory for future questions.

The ideal goal of the degree course is the training of artists who also reflect on their practice theoretically, and of theorists who develop their theory through dialogue with practice.
