The course awakens and develops the students physicality, senses and imagination and provides them with the foundational knowledge and skills to develop their theatrical competence in play and creative performance. The course also gives the student experience with independent creative theatre work, based on given tasks, understanding of collective work processes and the opportunity to develop their own theatrical expression.
No prior knowledge is required beyond the admission requirement.

Compulsory subject
Lectures and practical lessons.

Nord University works continuously to improve the quality of its studies. In this work, we work closely with the students: in that the students participate in the evaluation of both the individual courses and the study as a whole. Evaluation in each course will take place by:

  1. At the start of a course: clarification of expectations between lecturer and students
  2. Continual evaluation throughout the semester
  3. Final evaluation

Comprehensive evaluation of the study takes place at regular meetings between representatives for the students and study leaders at Nord University. Students are also encouraged to participate in the central quality surveys.

Compulsory course participation with a minimum of 90% attendance is required in order to fulfill the assessment criteria.

The grade in the course TEA127 Acting Technique 1, TEA226 Acting Technique 2 and TEA326 Acting Technique 3 will be merged into one grade on the diploma.
