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.
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.
