Read what our current and former students think about
Copenhagen Theatre School and its founder Madeleine Dolby,
​and how our acting classes changed their life and what it meant for them.

​"Madeleine is a great performer, teacher and coach. Through her creativity and teaching experience she succeeds in making an excellent performance from nothing. As a teacher she uses different techniques by for example mixing music in exercises to create an interesting and fun environment during classes. Her main strength is to feel and understand what people need to work on to reach their full potential, so that they can get the most out of their theatre classes.
I can strongly recommend Madeleine and her theatre school for everyone who wishes to grow as a performer and have fun whilst doing so!"

Current student

“I decided to enroll in Madeleine’s Improv for Beginners course because I wanted to challenge myself in doing something different. The first class was nerve wracking but it’s was so much fun! I was surprised that I was able to do so much improvised acting. I’m really glad to have started this course because I can reach my goal in getting a sharper mind, something that will surely help my future career in acting.”

"Madeleine is a brilliant director, teacher, actress and performer. I’ve had the pleasure to work with her many times and I always appreciate how she speaks her mind in such a kind and precise way.”​

Raffa

Current student

“I wanted to start Madeleine’s Improv for Beginners course because I wanted to improve my English and to feel better with myself. My favorite moments during class are when I’m acting in front of the group, because people laugh and I can see the joy in their eyes and feel very comfortable. Seeing people enjoying what we are doing is a good feeling and I’ve become more confident and not afraid of judgment. It's for this reason that I like improv, because it doesn’t matter if I make some mistakes, I can learn from them and still enjoy the moment.
I really like Madeleine as a teacher because she’s very clear when explaining something, always has a smile on her face and is very patient with everyone of us. I feel very comfortable with her."

 ​After the 2nd session I was hooked! Madeleine is great, very intuitive, easy to understand, leads really well and is a good coach in general. My daughter was completely intrigued after witnessing a class and now she has signed up too!

Elida

​Former student

“I was a student of Madeleine's in 2014 and looking back to that experience I’ve always had a fantastic experience to be in a performance directed by her. I really appreciated her unique ability to elevate each individual student in every group she had, making us become the best actors that we could be.”

Suzanne

Current student

“Madeleine has been a great inspiration to me. Slowly but surely, she helped me get out of my shell to finally get the courage to start improv theater and start my stand-up comedy career. Her continuous support and encouragement lead me to do not only do clowning but also my first stand-up show, which brought me a lot of pride. Through her guidance, I'm getting more and more confident on stage. Week after week I get very eager to learn about physical theater, one of her big passions. I warmly recommend her classes which provide a safe and fun environment to grow both as an individual and a performer."
