We welcome students from all parts of Europe. Develop your skills in using theatre as a tool for empowerment and a broader understanding of different cultures and social behaviour. The theatre training has a physical approach and is working with nonverbal expressions and improvisation, aiming towards street performances and Forum Theatre. We are experienced in running and participating in projects within the framework of the EU Youth in Action program. The course is given in English. For more information contact Tim Doolan.

Skolan och Teaterlinjen har en stor och bred internationell kontaktyta. Utbyten pågår frekvent med exempelvis Vitryssland, Armenien, Egypten, Portugal och flertalet andra länder. Detta ger perspektiv på hur vi tänker och på vår teater.

Teater Arken har sedan många år drivit internationella projekt. Under 90-talet åkte vi till Baltikum flera gånger om året, sedan blev det Vitryssland som vi har långsiktiga samarbeten med fortfarande. Nu har vi etablerat samarbete med Teater St Samuel i Kairo, Egypten.

Vi fortsätter att under 2000-talet jobba med våra internationella projekt. Det har blivit kulturprojekt med teatrar i Barcelona i Spanien och York i England men även en mängd andra projekt i Portugal, Slovakien, Polen, Belgien, Baskien, Italien, Serbien, England, Rumänien och Lappland. Och så förstås våra långsiktiga partners i Egypten och Vitryssland. Dessa projekt tillför oss många och goda lärdomar och är mycket spännande.
