DAMU

DAMU, the Theatre Faculty of the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague, is a university-level art school offering professional education across a wide range of theatre disciplines. Its departments cover dramatic theatre, alternative and puppet theatre, scenography, arts management, drama in education, authorial creativity and pedagogy, and theatre theory and criticism. The faculty also supports research through institutes focused on authorial acting, alternative and puppet theatre, theatre in special-needs groups, and scenic arts.

DAMU offers undergraduate, master’s and doctoral study, with programmes including Authorial Acting, Scenography, and Directing of Devised and Object Theatre. Students can access admissions guidance, study resources, language teaching, physical training, library services, accommodation information, psychological support, and international opportunities such as Erasmus+ mobility and traineeships.

The faculty’s activities extend beyond teaching to theatre production, research, publications and public events. Its DISK Theatre provides a stage for the next generation, while student-led projects such as Hybris magazine and the DAMU_cast podcast share perspectives on theatre, study and current events.
