Course
CourseAt the ArtEZ School of Acting in Arnhem, you will be trained as an actor or actress and your first two years of study will mainly focus on becoming acquainted with your own acting potential and acquiring techniques and skills. In the third and fourth year, you will be given the space to shape your own education.

What will you learn at the School of Acting?
The ArtEZ School of Acting is a small-scale four-year drama course at higher vocational level. The technique of acting forms the basis of the course curriculum. You will follow practical and theory classes and reflect on the work of others and on your own work. In role-play projects, you will integrate the knowledge you have acquired. You will create your own work on the floor; as an actor and creator, you will already be at the heart of the professional field in your graduation year. Throughout your studies you will be coached by your mentor.
There is plenty of room for your personal development as an artist within the course curriculum of the school of acting. For example, you can go into directing, writing or music theatre in more depth.
Structure of the course curriculum
Acting consists of a palette of different skills. A good actor not only has a great capacity for interpretation, they are also actively involved in a creative process as a (co)creator.
You will take both practical and theory classes. In the first year, you will taught many different skills in the areas of text interpretation, singing, movement and role-playing. The practical classes are firmly linked to the theoretical education. You will develop a broad awareness of the world and the arts through subjects such as philosophy, dramaturgy and film analysis.
As the course progresses, we will expect you to set up your own projects and make your own performances. You will always do so in collaboration with others, both within and outside the course.
Course supervision
During the course, everything is centred on your individual development. Because of the small scale of the course, we can offer every student intensive supervision. A mentor will supervise you throughout the course.
Facilities
The course has various modern, spacious studios, theatres, theory rooms and a library. Students can book studios themselves.
