Acting (Bachelor / Master)

As part of the acting course, we place particular emphasis on the development of an independent artistic personality. In addition to technical training as the basis of all theatrical work, students are prepared for a theatre that is increasingly detached from the literary text, emphasises the rehearsal process and is committed to collective working methods. Various in-house productions by the Bayerische Theaterakademie August Everding are an integral part of the training. The practical studies take place at the Prinzregententheater in Munich.

The following requirements must be met for admission to the Bachelor's programme:

• General higher education entrance qualification or similar according to § 29 QualV. If you pass the aptitude test, a secondary school certificate is sufficient as a university entrance qualification.
• Timely application with all required attachments
• Passing the regulated aptitude test at the Bayerische Theaterakademie August Everding
• Sufficient spoken and written German (B2)

The aptitude test consists of a three-stage procedure.
The application deadlines for the Bachelor's and Master's programs will be announced in good time. A list of required documents and the application form can be found below under Downloads.

The following content is taught in the acting program:

• Acting: acting basics, acting methods (Stanislavski, Chekhov, Method, Meisner, Chubbuck), playing with make-up, clowning, scenical teaching, projects under professional working conditions, working with different theatre styles, improvisation, introduction to film and media work, advanced media work (e. g. dubbing), acting in front of the camera

Students regularly have the opportunity to take part in productions at the Residenztheater, the Münchner Kammerspiele, the Volkstheater, the Schauburg, the Metropoltheater and many more. Another important partner of the acting course is the Munich University of Television and Film (HFF).
• Exchange: The PLETA (Platform for European Theatre Academies) and E:UTSA (Europe: Union of Theatre Schools and Academies) networks offer students the opportunity to gain experience at over 20 European theatre academies in the form of exchanges, workshops, productions and seminars. In this context, students regularly take part in international festivals (e. g. Warsaw, Budapest, Brno, Paris or Amsterdam) with productions from the acting course.

Graduates of the acting course work at outstanding municipal and state theatres as well as in the independent scene and in film and television.
