SET THE STAGE FOR YOUR TRAINING

The three-year vocational training is divided into six semesters, with approximately 25 hours per week. It begins in September of each year.

The training at the SfSH focuses on helping students become independent and self-reliant artistic personalities. The diversity of methods is central to this aim. At the SfSH, all relevant methodological approaches (e.g. Chekhov, Grotowski, Stanislavski, Meissner) are taught by specialised instructors. Classes (including breath, voice and bodywork, dance, singing and scenic improvisation) are initially ensemble classes, but in the further course of the training, they increasingly take place on an individual or small group basis.

Screen acting is part of the curriculum as of the 2nd semester. In the last year of training, students can choose between a degree in stage or screen acting, so as to be optimally prepared for the different working conditions and requirements.

Classes are complemented by workshops with internationally distinguished guest teachers, as well as extensive coaching focusing on career prospects and self-management topics.
