Open courses

Theater education projects have been an essential element of the program at the Bavarian Academy of Dramatic Arts since 2001. Besides courses and workshops for adults concentrating on improvisation, body language or enunciation, for example, theater courses for children and adolescents have also been offered continuously. And the Bavarian Academy of Dramatic Arts regularly undertakes external projects.

With the open courses and the Children’s Acting School, the Bavarian Academy of Dramatic Arts puts into practice its concept of an open academy in the service of all residents of Regensburg.

Children’s Acting School

The Children’s Acting School offers children aged 5 and above the opportunity to experience and discover the world of the theater in a continuous way through play. Movement, musicality and creative skills are nurtured, while emphasis is placed on dramatic performance. These children receive a generalized creative education in self-expression which promotes personality development. Besides the joy of theatrical performance, the children have freedom to explore in play.

Through play, the children are taught personal responsibility and self-discipline, they can test their limits, and of course demonstrate their creativity.

Each course is guided by an age-appropriate theme and includes for example improvisation and role-playing, pantomime, music and dance. The number of places available on the children’s courses is limited.

Drama clubs for adolescents and adults

The Bavarian Academy of Dramatic Arts offers several different Drama Clubs for adolescents and adults. These courses are led by the students on the Theater Education course at the academy. They are typically in their graduation year and complete their studies for qualification as Theater Educators after the end of the course.

Course participants meet every week in the period from October to April/May and work with the course instructors to develop a project which is staged publicly in the Academy Theater at the end of the course.

Some courses are organized by age group (e.g., ("ADK Youth Club", "ADK Goldies"), others involve participants from all generations ("ADK Allstars").
