Required preliminary courses

Arbeid med uttrykk og samspill foregår i praktiske øvinger i mindre grupper eller klasser.

Studiet er i stor grad basert på at læring foregår sammen med andre. En slik læreprosess krever samvær og samarbeid over tid. Det forutsettes derfor at studentene er til stede og aktivt medvirker i undervisning og gruppearbeid. Det gjøres oppmerksom på at studiet er tidkrevende, og at studiedager ofte brukes til gruppearbeid og annet studentarbeid.

I enkelte tilfeller kan undervisningen bli gitt på engelsk
