Syllabus:

The versatility of an actor in puppet/alternative theatre stems from their knowledge and development of their own psychological/physical attributes. To begin with, students test out their ability to exist and act in a space, become familiar with and practises animating puppets and subjects, the voice, solo and choral song and all forms of stage movement. Following individual studies and specific scenes they get involved in larger stage forms with various study objectives (musical theatre, physical theatre, masks, pantomime, puppets). The actor brings the practical experience and skills gained in the first years of study to the production theme itself. He/she learns creative communication with fellow actors and with the authority of the director (student or teacher). The final phase of studies is held in DISK theatre productions, where the student receives several opportunities to act.
