Actor

For more than 20 years, Copenhagen Acting School has been Denmark's strongest independent acting school. We have trained more than 125 professional actors for the Danish and international theater, film and TV industry, previously under the name Acting School Ophelia. CAS offers two programs; a 3-year actor training + a 1-year international program in English.

As the only school in Europe, the training at CAS is based on American acting technique and in particular the Sanford Meisner method.

Our vision is to train Denmark's most authentic actors for film, TV, theater and other media. Artists of stature who can convincingly convey characters, actions and situations.

"Tanja Fleth Bønke and Simon Kaarfast were acting interns in Gasværket's big production of Shakespeare in Love in 2019. Tanja and Simon's contribution to the performance was very valuable. It was a pleasure to work with them!"

Acting technique

Copenhagen Acting School's acting education is based on American acting technique. A method that always delivers quality and authentic presence.

Sanford Meisner articulated the essence of good acting as: "acting truthfully under imaginary circumstances". And while there are many different opinions on the best methods to achieve excellence, the vast majority agree with Meisner's definition.

Meisner summed up his idea of good acting in the phrase: "to live truthfully in imaginary circumstances". And while there are very different opinions on what methods are needed to achieve excellent acting, the vast majority agree with Meisner's definition.
