An International Theatre School in English, Copenhagen, Denmark

Unique performers
The Commedia School is a 2 year actor training program founded by Ole Brekke and Carlo Mazzone in Copenhagen. Since 1978, each September, a new group of students from around the world have been attracted to this center to develop themselves as performers. The school has started students on successful careers in many areas of performing including stage, film, circus, puppet theatre, cabaret, children’s theatre and street theatre.

The basis of the training is movement, the physical aspect of acting, which is often left out of traditional acting programs. The course is grounded in the pedagogical methods of Carlo Mazzone-Clementi, Jacques Lecoq, and Moshe Feldenkrais. Because each class has students from many countries, the English language is used.  More about the course
