Several former Solbakken students go straight into professional studies and get film and acting jobs - do you want to be one of them?

A year on the film acting course will give you training as an actor both in front of the camera and on stage. You will gain insight into different directions in film, both in terms of genre, style, and professional functions.

On the course we work with:

We also work on developing characters, both physically and with sensory work. We watch a lot of films and series in different genres and from different countries.

In addition, you will try your hand at scriptwriting and analysis of films and scripts, and you will receive audition training both on stage and in front of the camera.

In addition to the main subjects - in the film acting program, you will have the common subjects: acting technique, dance, choir, voice, yoga and training.

This course is available as both a full-time and half-term course.

Since we are a small school, you will receive close follow-up from our highly qualified teachers who are passionate about helping you in your development.

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.
