Studies
Education
The Academy of Performing Arts Baden-Württemberg (»Akademie für darstellende Kunst«, ADK) is an open, ground-breaking institution for education in the performing arts: Acting | Directing | Dramaturgy. ADK cultivates a national and international network and has a firm regional footing. On a joint campus with the Film Academy Baden-Württemberg, ADK stands at the intersection of contemporary theater forms, film, and digital media. The campus and its learning opportunities are unique in German-speaking countries. It is a space of creative impulses, a laboratory for the future in which artistic dialogue is explored and practiced every day.
ADK creates an open climate that supports curiosity, reflection and critical dialogue. Diversity is understood. ADK teaching staff accompany students as mentors on an equal footing.
One of the academy’s declared educational goals is to prepare all students for a trans-disciplinary workspace within cultural institutions, but also in different segments of society outside traditional cultural establishments.
The development of their own artistic personality and voice as well as a command of artistic phenomena are meant to enable students to open up and play to creative spaces as sites of personal and political engagement with relevant themes.
The ADK wants to be open to all people. In this context, we launched the two-year project »All Together Now« in October 2023, in which we want to review accessibility at the ADK and, in a process, question and expand our teaching events accordingly. We look forward to receiving a wide range of questions and comments in this context
Please let us know what your access requirements are so that we can discuss together how the ADK can support you.
