Syllabus

Students of acting are encouraged to keep personal notes when working on a school performance. They learn to describe crucial moments in the specific exam process and their function in it. They should be able to distinguish the importance of individual production elements for their acting. It?s essential that they appreciate the ability and the means of communicating with their colleagues, particularly in working with actors and the director. In their written reflection students should prove their ability to analyse one of their creative acts in all contexts.

Study materials:

The study material is always one concrete whole exam process in school training or a production including the resulting form. Students are expected to be able to use and generalise their existing knowledge and experience on all elements of the performance under reflection.
