Description of the programme
Studying directing at the Athanor Academy offers an outstanding opportunity for aspiring directors and is one of the leading state specialised academies in the German-speaking world. Since 1995, the academy has been using innovative teaching methods to provide aspiring female directors with a ground-breaking education. With a wide range of courses for theatre and film, it serves as a field of experimentation for new forms of artistic expression in the constantly diversifying fields of theatre, performative art, film, dance, TV series and new media.
To be successful as a director in the diverse world of entertainment, you need a well-founded, professional education that promotes individual creative development. As a director, it is crucial to recognise the central themes of a project and to develop a relevant performance concept. The aim is to recognise the potential of directing and to implement an independent overall artistic concept.
Numerous advantages await you: You will work with drama students at an early stage and continuously practise turning dramatic or non-dramatic texts, scripts, ideas, sketches and concepts into playable actions, meaningful dramaturgical structures or effective performances. Your training prepares you not only for theatre, but also for film, television, new media and performative actions. Right from the start, you will learn and work under conditions similar to those of a real production.
