The aptitude test usually takes place at the end of January/beginning of February and lasts three to four days. You will find the exact dates in the top right-hand corner as soon as they are fixed. Please note that you will have to be on site for the aptitude test.

The aptitude test consists of several rounds:

First round: Presentation of three stage scenes invented and developed by you. These should be entirely different in terms of content, characters and performance types. Props, music and language may be included as additional means of expression beyond the physical, depending on necessity with regards to the scene’s content. (Total performance time should not exceed 20 minutes.)

Second round: Continuation of one of the these scenes performed. Improvisation.

Third round: Movement training, voice training, choreography training, body language. Final selection.

Search, invent, play characters and themes that particularly interest you. We do not expect perfection or technical skills. Rather, we are interested in your imagination, your physical playfulness and your scenic invention.
