ONLINE TRAINING NOW AVAILABLE
Due to popular demand, HIT is offering a series of intensives in March/ April 2020 on performance skill building, geared towards both experienced actors looking to work out their fundamentals, as well as for newer actors looking to be guided through a training process.
And now due to current social distancing circumstances, HIT is really pleased to announce online programming for those looking to keep those creative juices flowing and to continue to grow as artists during this time!
To sign up for online training, email hitlab@houseofinternationaltheatre.dk with the workshop/workshops you’d like to attend.

Now in May 2020…
Collaborative Storytelling
Collaborative storytelling is how we build a culture, it exists as folk tales, epic poetry, cosplay, Dungeons and Dragons, memes, and jokes which are so old and familiar that to tell them and make them your own is a part of the process rather than theft of intellectual property.
This course will look at the skills which allow for collaborative story-telling, how to add to an idea without shutting it down, how to talk your way out of a plot hole, how to draw on cultural touchstones without relying on cliché, how to address difficult topics through art and most importantly how to make a safe space for our fellow story-tellers so that we can all face the most difficult and dangerous parts of our stories together.
