Studio
This season, Schauspiel Leipzig continues a cooperation that has existed since 1965: Studio Leipzig. After two years of basic training at the University of Music and Theatre “Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy” (HMT), nine students of the Institute for Drama “Hans Otto” will continue their education at Studio Leipzig and therefore in the very heart of the theatre.
During the second half of their training, the students will perform in repertory productions, have lessons with experienced colleagues from the acting company and show the results in public auditions and their own Studio Production at Diskothek. Actor Annett Sawallisch and dramaturg Matthias Döpke are Studio Leipzig’s directors.
Under the title of “Studio”, the students show their work on various stages of the theatre at regular intervals: They present their scene and monologue studies, Studio-shows that they have devised completely by themselves as well as small-scale scenic works or music projects.
For the eight students of Studio Leipzig, the first of their two seasons at Schauspiel Leipzig begins with performances in a variety of productions. Together, they will experience the season’s highlights: the premiere of the Studio Production in February and participation in the national meeting of German-language acting students in June. More on the 2026 Studio Production “LIEBE / Eine argumentative Übung (LOVE / An argumentative excersize)” by Sivan Ben Yishai (directed by Katrin Plötner).
