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:
“When the world was half a thousand years younger all events had much sharper outlines than now. The distance between sadness and joy, between good and bad fortune, seemed to be much greater than for us; every experience had that degree of directness and absoluteness which joy and sadness still have in the mind of a child”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
“The theatre is supremely fitted to say: “Behold! These things are.” Yet most dramatists employ it to say: “This moral truth can be learned from beholding this action.””
—Thornton Wilder (1897–1975)
“The present is an age of talkers, and not of doers; and the reason is, that the world is growing old. We are so far advanced in the Arts and Sciences, that we live in retrospect, and dote on past achievement.”
—William Hazlitt (1778–1830)
