What is it about?
In the Directing Course for Spoken and Music Theatre, Performing Arts (Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts), students and lecturers work together to research future theatre aesthetics. Productions by directing students at the Theaterakademie or at cooperating theatre and performance centres are at the heart of the course.
The practical work on the rehearsal stages and in the laboratory is analysed and further developed in the core lessons.
The theoretical and artistic knowledge acquired during their studies - in philosophy, aesthetics, sociology, dramaturgy, theatre, opera and art history, music and performance theory, singing, acting, dance or speech training - is put into practice. For us, the classical craft of theatre is the starting point for the development of each student's own project-related craft.
Cooperation Partner
The Directing course is part of the cooperation model of the Bayerische Theaterakademie August Everding and the University of Music and Theatre in Munich.
Lessons and training take place at the theatre academy in the Prinzregententheater in Munich.
Further partners include
“Everyone who studies and teaches directing wants to get to know people who want to express themselves through the medium of theatre about the present they experience. How can the concepts of theatre be constantly redefined? How can we question and change current viewing habits?”
