Target group and application
To participate in this course, it is required that you are aged 18+ and have attended at least 4-5 courses including Acting Advanced at Balettakademien or equivalent, and that you have experience of working in groups and with theater production either at "amateur level" or professionally.

Course contents
We continue working with acting exercises, improvisations and exercises related to scripts and roles. We select a play or work together to create a script based on the group’s prior knowledge and composition. We go through a rehearsal and perform in front of an audience.
The course deepens your understanding of the relationship between script, role, plot, ensemble, and audience. By means of exercises, we work on presence, concentration, interaction, and spontaneity. We use concepts such as desire, means, turning point, conflict, and situation to clarify scripts and interpretations.
Educational format
Tuition is conducted in a small group of 5-10 participants but is to some extent individual. In some parts of the course, you watch while other course participants work, which is an important element of the course and the process. You must also be prepared to work independently to a degree between the course sessions.
Goal
At this course level, we rehearse with the goal of staging a performance with one or two plays on a real stage/at Stage Studio Four.
