AUDITIONS - The Dutch Acting School
At De Nederlandse Acteursschool, we believe that depth, challenge, and personal guidance are essential. That is exactly what you can expect in our six-month program — and you can register for the auditions now!
Our intensive training courses are specifically designed for mature actors with acting experience who want to take their acting ambitions seriously.
You will be taught in a small, engaged group, with plenty of personal feedback. This creates space for experimentation, growth, and deepening.
Are you choosing Year 1? Then, over 18 weeks, you will get to work on improvisation, elementary acting, text-based theatre, and camera acting, among other things. The lessons are structured in blocks, allowing you to work on your development in a structured way.
Or will you opt for the camera acting course? The course consists of 30 lessons. During the final lesson of each block, you will film the scenes you rehearsed in the preceding weeks. This way, by the end of the program, you will have plenty of footage that you can use for your showreel, for example!
Teachers from the field
You will be guided by top instructors from the Dutch theatre and film world, including Melody Klaver, Jeroen Spitzenberger, Joes Brauers, Eva van der Gucht, Mingus Dagelet, and Rian Gerritsen. They pass on not only their expertise but also their love for acting.
Who is this course intended for?
This program is a good match if:
• You want to continue your development alongside your work or studies, or breathe new life into an old passion.
• You already have experience, but feel that you can get more out of yourself.
• You are taking a gap year and want to seriously prepare for drama school.
