The period of cabaret study involves each student creating performing material that is very personal with an emphasis on writing, composing, and staging songs. This study pushes the limits of the student’s creativity in areas not otherwise explored, like stand-up comedy, magic, burlesque, and other more or less obscure areas of performing.
– Liberate reserves of energy through play and pushing boundaries.
– Mine your personal shadow for Bouffon material.
– Work with levels of parody from the subtle to the extreme.
– Revel in the pleasure of mockery.
– Experiment in Bouffon chorus.
– Understand how physical transformation and the power of disguise allow exploration of the shadow aspect of our artistic expression.
– Create a body mask.
– Practice using sophisticated rhythms, manipulation, and surprise to empower your Bouffon.
– Try out storytelling and devising in a Bouffon chorus.
– all days from 9 – 15
– Standard fee: 600 Euro (4.500 kr.)
– Early bird before 1st August: 500 Euro (3.750 kr.)


CLOWN AND STORYTELLING
Intensive Spring module February 2026
This module also includes the workshop “”Performing Objects” with Krepsko – See Commedia events
STORYTELLING
The students will discover the fundamental nature of theatre, telling stories whether literary and verbal or gestural and non-verbal. By telling stories, the students learn to connect in a profound way with the public and develop the sensitivity necessary to hold the audience’s attention and take them on a journey through the story.
Everyone loves a charming story, and the students discover their own unique charm while creating their own stories. This style of telling stories draws on the student’s creativity physically building images using movement, pantomime, acrobatics, and voice working individually and in groups.
Many theatre groups have launched their careers in this style.
THE CLOWN- THE ART OF FAILING
As the student encounters the phenomena of the clown, they develop freedom of play while discovering their comic character, and their unique way of making people laugh. Working with the solitude of the clown provides them a sense of being centered in themselves on stage and in touch with their immediate circumstances. They develop the ability to play with the surprises that invariably occur during performances. Working with the naiveté of the clown exposes each student to the basic human condition and their own vulnerability. They discover that their personal vulnerability is what makes them interesting on stage. During this study, the students will have several opportunities to perform their clown numbers and shows with diverse audiences in Denmark and abroad. This year we plan to play both at festivals in Denmark and abroad.
This is an exciting and intense three-month study that will develop those wanting to work in theatre and expand the skills of those already involved with theatre.

The focus of this workshop is to design a full or half mask that will have an instant visual impact on stage, and clearly communicating its intentions. We work with the traditional Venetian mask making technique. After an introduction to the functions and requirements of a theatre mask, every participant will learn to create a papier-mâché mask, built in a negative plaster mold which is taken from a form modelled in clay.
The lessons involve
– Theory: The history and sociocultural functions of masks.
– Introduction to artistic skills, handcrafts and materials
– Design of a mask
– Clay model
– Plaster mold and papier-mâché
– Surface treatment, painting, special finish, fitting of the mask
Finbarr Ryan, Ireland – mask making, performing the mask
Open for all levels.
