The creative engagement with language in the safe space of the theatre increases confidence in speaking and supports the authentic, emotional use of the German (or English) language in everyday life and professional settings. Through improvisational exercises, role plays, and scene work, active language use in realistic situations is strengthened. At the same time, pronunciation, vocabulary, and expressive ability are improved.
