Drama

Body, voice, imagination, education, personality. On their way into the acting profession, students learn various acting, improvisation and physical techniques, breath-voice-speech-musicality are trained, playful imagination is stimulated and stage presence is developed. Supported by an experienced faculty, students learn how to use their acting skills in a creative way.

The drama course runs through all stages of the constantly evolving theater aesthetic. Students get to know the play of antiquity, the baroque, the classical period with its bound language, naturalism, realism, expressionism, modernism and postmodernism. They try their hand at performance, post-drama and absurd theater - all of this takes place in a protected space at the Theater Academy, where everyone can try things out without danger.

The focus of the training is on the development of one's own artistic personality, the ability to work independently on text, character and role.

At the Hamburg Theater Academy, acting and directing students work closely together, and joint seminars in the first years of training create a trusting basis for joint projects.

In the course of their studies, teams are formed that try out their individual artistic expression in many projects. Performance styles, performance formats -  the will to create puts everything up for discussion. In this artistic process, drama students see themselves as co-authors and co-creators.

Workshops and master classes complement the training. The final production takes place at one of Hamburg's state theaters.
