Theatre Academy

The Theatre Academy is a performing arts university that provides the highest education in theatre and dance in Finland. Students at the Theatre Academy graduate as lighting and sound designers, dancers, choreographers, dance or drama teachers, actors, directors, dramaturges, playwrights, performance artists, or even something that has yet to be named.

Studying at the Theatre Academy is a demanding, full-time task through mainly contact teaching and small study groups. In addition to providing the necessary information and skills, the teaching emphasises the particular artistic disposition of each student.

The studies consist of artistic work, workshops, seminars and lectures. Professionals from the field guide students along the path to becoming artists. A multidisciplinary professional from a broad field of theatre and dance is emerging alongside the traditional professional roles.

Performances are a significant part of maturing as an artist. They are landmarks that outline what the students have learned, familiarise them with the traditions, and create new ideas. The Theatre Academy has 30-40 annual premieres, most of which are open to the public.

The Performing Arts Research Centre, Tutke, is responsible for all research and doctoral studies at the Theatre Academy. The research coordinated at the Theatre Academy is artistic, artist-oriented, art pedagogic, and highly multidisciplinary.

The Theatre Academy was founded in 1979 when the Finnish and Swedish theatre academies merged.

The Theatre Academy is located in Sörnäinen, Helsinki.
