Komikseminar - Seminarfacts


Comedy?

Yes - Comedy! The most innovative form of theatre with the best ingredients from acro and batics, slap and stick, with a lot of panto and even more mime - it is a load of concentrated entertainment sweeping over the stage with a lot of spec and and full of tacle, action, fun and music.

The background

There have always been workshops and seminars in the field of the classical drama education. Comedy, however, as a branch of its own, is almost not-existent within drama education in acting schools of the German speaking area. This is because the" training of a comedian" consists of the so called "Comedy-Trains", which are a medley of different styles of the theatre. The one and only international Comedy seminar in Austria tries to make use of those "Trains" and develop them further. Interested laymen will have the possibility to get an insight and overview of "Comedy" and we will try to help them with their first steps on the stage. Profs will have the possibility to become perfect with the help of international guidance.

The target-group

Actors/Actresses
Drama students
Semi-Pros´ and amateur actors/actresses
interested laymen and `people wanting to enter the field of comedy´
