The ArtEZ School of Acting is a small-scale, four-year drama programme at the secondary vocational level (MBO). Acting techniques form the basis of the programme's curriculum. You will follow practical and theory-based classes and reflect on your work and that of others. In role-play projects, you will integrate the knowledge you have acquired. You will create your own work on the stage floor; as an actor and creator, you will already be at the heart of the professional field in your graduation year. In addition, throughout your studies, you will be coached by your mentor.
There is plenty of room for your personal development as an artist within the School of Acting's programme curriculum. For example, you could choose to go into directing, writing or music theatre in more depth.
Acting consists of a diverse palette of different skills. A good actor not only has a great capacity for interpretation, but they are also actively involved in a creative process as a creator and co-creator.
You will take both practical and theory-based classes. In the first year, you will learn several different skills in the areas of text interpretation, singing, movement and role-playing. The practical classes are firmly linked to the theory-based component. 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.
Both in the workplace and in our curriculum, we actively work towards an inclusive and diverse learning environment, because:
