Solbakken folkehøgskole

Solbakken folkehogskole is a small folk high school with room for approx. 60 students. It´s size gives us the opportunity to see each student, with close personal and stage-specific follow-up.

Solbakken Folk High School has three divisions: Acting, Musical, and Writing. All divisions are based on Solbakken´s more than 30 years of experience of teacing in the performing arts; acting technique, singing, dance, theater, musical theater, monologue / audition technique, vocal use, text writing, yoga, improvisation, film and directing.

You will get an overall insight into stage technical subjects, often in relation to production and projects. We stimulate local cultural work and are active participants in local community events.

Our main study trip goes to a theater capital in Europe. Apart from this, we make theater visits to Sweden, Oslo and Kongsvinger.

We have a 2nd year option, primarily those who have finished the first year at Solbakken, and who want further specialization in acting. Second Class students produces performances, have private lessons in singing and speaking, and are actors in a professional short film. The 2nd is a very intensive year, with long school days.
