Rauma Theatre School
Rauma Theatre School
The Rauma Theater School’s basic theater arts education is goal-oriented, progressive theater and expressive arts education for children and young people. The teaching is diverse and provided by theater professionals. The theater school’s studies total 500 hours, which can be completed in about seven years. The theater arts studies develop self-expression, concentration, creativity, personality, consideration for others, and the ability to observe oneself and the surrounding world.
Most of the teaching and work takes place on the Karin campus. Some performances can also be staged at various events, bringing the theater to where the people are.
