This course, founded in 1965 by Bettina Falkenberg and Günter Titt at Folkwang University of the Arts, is the only one of its kind in Germany for physical theatre performers.

The course caters to young 'theatre makers', who tutored into developing the skills for creating their own original pieces: they learn how to recognise topics, capture their concept, develop them with a unique take, and to finally perform them at a high level.

The objective is the development of a creative, responsible and confident artist, who will be able to find his or her own path in theatre world by implementing own projects, or within established theatre organisations.
