Norwegian Theatre Academy

Norwegian Theatre Academy offers a challenging undergraduate education in theatre and welcomes aspiring performing artists and scenographers who wish to explore the interaction between visual art and theatre, between theatre and society, and between theory and practice. Through a strategy that emphasizes collaboration between the two degree programs - scenography and acting - students are provided with training that combines the skills, knowledge and methods from conceptual visual art with the skills, techniques and methods of classical and contemporary theatre. Particular focus is placed on physical theatre, devised performance, and multi-disciplinary work.

Under the supervision of the leadership, students work with international guest artists and teachers in an intimate setting that allows close individual attention in both independent projects and directed productions. The goals are to challenge students to think about performance and scenography in innovative ways, to help them develop their own artistic practice, and to prepare them to meet the professional demands of working with directors, choreographers, film-makers, composers, playwrights and other artists in both traditional and experimental genres.

The Academy functions as a meeting place for students and artists from around the world who are a vital part of creating tomorrow's artistic expression. As a consequence of this international profile, all tuition is in English.
