Instant Theatre Berlin’s First Steps in Acting course is starting again in OCTOBER 2023 for its 24th EDITION! Come join the dozens of acting enthusiasts who every year take this class in order to explore the basics of acting on stage: at our hands-on acting courses, we learn how to get into the right creative mindset for acting, how to play different roles and characters, and we play on stage for the public in our final performance… Most of all, we discover how to be good actors on stage, how to be confident and communicate powerful emotions, and so can you!

Our acting exercises and techniques are constantly updated, and our sessions are designed specifically for each new group, but our original idea is always at the core of it: EVERYONE CAN ACT, because ACTING IS A NATURAL ABILITY that we all have! On this page you will find a summary of the activities, as well as the schedule of our upcoming introductory acting course. The class is designed for  complete beginners and people with little previous experience (i.e. participation in school plays). Please be sure to read the Frequently Asked Questions before joining!

Maximum 10 participants per group!

    ALL ABOUT OUR ACTING COURSE

    At the beginning of our acting class, we’ll focus on simple techniques and games to unlock our spontaneity, self-expression, creativity and how to use our imagination on stage. We’ll play short scenes and scripts to find out more about our personalities, our “stage persona” and the group, in order to get to know each other and get the right level of comfort to work together. At our acting class you can expect to be acting on stage from Day 1, and you are guaranteed to enjoy the experience! Later in the course, we’ll start working on longer scenes, and the final part of the project will see us on stage, playing our scenes in the final show in front of the audience! The First Steps in Acting course is very practical, dynamic and hands-on, and at the class we’ll focus on scripted material from early on, in order to start playing around with different roles on stage right away.

    The activities covered by this course also include group and awareness exercises, exercises to develop self-expression and expression of feelings and emotions, the basics of stage language and stage movement, scene creation, exercises on spontaneity and interactions, as well as basic character building. Our groups are made of internationals (18+) from all over the world. The classes are entirely in English and take place at our venue in Berlin, Germany.

    Frequently Asked Questions about our acting course

    YES. This program is specifically designed for beginners and people from other artistic disciplines who would like to get to know the basics of acting.

    YES. A big part of our initial work is focused on allowing you to get rid of your expressive blocks. We’ll work around the personal difficulties that we all have, so you’re definitely welcome to join and you’ll be in for a good experience. Our classes are extremely supportive and you’ll have all the group on your side at all times. In the video below I explained more about this topic, please watch it before joining!

    The best thing for you is to get in contact and tell us about your previous experience. If you’ve already performed in public as an actress in a play or a theatre production in the past, you might be eligible for our Level 2 course. Otherwise this course will be probably the best match for you. Please use the CONTACT FORM.

    NO. The program is only 8-week long, hence we need to use our time from the very beginning for our program. If you are not sure about joining, you can navigate our website to watch some TESTIMONIALS and get more info about what we do, or watch videos on our YOUTUBE CHANNEL! You can also come by at our venue in Berlin Wedding and see some of our shows. In short: we’ll bring the quality and the expertise, but you will have bring the commitment from the start to the end of the project.

    YES. If you’re able to read the contents on this page, then your English will be good enough to join. Our participants come from all over the world and it’s not unusual for us in a group of 10 people to have 8-9 different nationalities (and accents) on board. It’s part of the nature of what we do, and we are proud of that!

    YES. Acting addresses many of these aspects naturally and in a creative way, so at the end of the course you’ll definitely be more relaxed and more self-confident on stage and in public. Still, if you need 100% focused and individual advice about public speaking or acting, you should book our 1:1 acting training programs. Our introductory course is certainly a very good first step to improve your performative skills.

    After the last session of our course, we’ll host a public presentation of our work to a selected audience of friends and families. This will give you the opportunity to shine on stage and to put yourself to the test in a public performance. Afterwards, you can communicate with the teacher to see if you’re eligible for follow-up intermediate acting courses!

    Most of the times YES, if you are a teenager. But your parent or
    guardian MUST get in contact with us before and inform us of your
    willingness to join. We might ask you to sign an agreement form. In
    general, our classes are meant for adults, 18+ years old.
