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 trainees in Gasværket's big production of Shakespeare in Love. 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.
Meisner summarized his idea of good acting in the phrase: "to act truthfully under imaginary circumstances". And although there are very different methods and opinions on what it takes to achieve great acting, the vast majority agree with Meisner's definition.
The practical
Copenhagen Acting School is a private acting school that does not receive any public funding. Teaching and operations are therefore entirely student-funded.
