The small Theater school for the performing arts, - for acting, music theatre and dance. 

Solbakken folkehogskole is a small folk high school with room for approx. 50-60 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 four divisions: Acting, Musical, Film Acting and Learn Norwegian. 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 Stockholm. Apart from this, we make theater visits to Oslo and Kongsvinger.

At Solbakken, I gained confidence, close friends from all over the world, and new artistic experiences. It’s a safe space to dive into what you dream of – even if it feels a bit scary. Here, you’re free to explore, express, and grow.
