The Degree Programmes in Theatre Arts
Norwegian Theatre Academy offers two different study programs leading to a bachelor degree, in acting and scenography respectively. The aim is to train specialized theatre artists who can combine skills, knowledge and methods from conceptual visual art with skills, techniques and methods from contemporary theatre and performance. The programs require the students to participate in and devise complex theatre productions and to continuously train their personal skills, and are expected to develop a strong awareness with respect to methods and production strategies. It is an important goal to educate professional artists who can work both in ensembles and independently.

Famous quotes containing the words degree, theatre and/or arts:
“The state does not demand justice of its members, but thinks that it succeeds very well with the least degree of it, hardly more than rogues practice; and so do the neighborhood and the family. What is commonly called Friendship even is only a little more honor among rogues.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I think theatre should always be somewhat suspect.”
—Václav Havel (b. 1936)
“Women hock their jewels and their husbands’ insurance policies to acquire an unaccustomed shade in hair or crêpe de chine. Why then is it that when anyone commits anything novel in the arts he should be always greeted by this same peevish howl of pain and surprise? One is led to suspect that the interest people show in these much talked of commodities, painting, music, and writing, cannot be very deep or very genuine when they so wince under an unexpected impact.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
