Our vision and mission
Copenhagen Theatre School started in 2020 as an English-speaking Theater Company and School for international as well as local, children, youth, and adults living in and around Copenhagen. In the first year the focus was on weekly workshops and group lessons that went across several weeks or the semester. The children and teen classes had its roots in both classical and modern storytelling, with its main focus on improvisation. The adult classes were mainly in improv theatre, but some were in physical storytelling. Now the school has moved in a new direction, expanding by teaching students from all around Denmark, but also in Norway, Sweden and USA.
After many student requests, we are now diving into the world of one-to-one actor coaching, aimed at helping new and amateur actors in pursuing their dreams of acting on stage, TV and film. Here we will guide you no matter what age or level you might be. We also coach anyone who wants the benefits of what comes from actor training. For example if you are looking to get better at public speaking or improving your self confidence, we can take you there.
We have also started to offer theatre based workshops in teambuilding and improvisational techniques to the corporate world and even teaching stage presence to musicians who desire training beyond their musical skills.
At our school we use theatre and acting techniques as a medium to help all our students grow as performers, musicians and individuals. For new actors we also train self-confidence and creativity in a safe and playful environment.
The company is founded by actress, theatre instructor and dramapedagog Madeleine Dolby, who has over 12 years of solid experience working with children, teenagers and adults in the artistic field of theatre and acting. Her love for acting has spread to those she has taught, and through time she has found and developed what has now become such an extremely joyous but also educational curriculum.
Madeleine's acting background started in the world of theatre, improv theatre, musical theatre and physical theatre. She is an educated hospital clown and theatre clown, and she has been acting for commercials, film and short films for some time now. She is now interested in sharing her knowledge on the industry with others and coaching students step-by-step on their journey to success!
