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

Why study at The Commedia
School? Because the performing arts have
always been precarious business and even more so today
because of the global economic situation, it is
important that performers are able to create their own
shows rather than depend on auditions to find work. The
training of creative performers at The Commedia School
gives graduates a big advantage because of the emphasis
on producing new material each week. Graduates of The
Commedia School not only create their own shows, but
have been also created new work situations for
performers outside the normal venues.

For some I am an emperor.
For some I am a master.
But for you,
my beloved audience,
your humble servant,
ever after.
