AST National Academy of Theatre Arts - Krakow

[EduCativ]

In 1946, by combining three schools operating in Krakow (the Acting School of the Old Theatre, the Acting School of the J. Slowacki Theatre, and the Iwo Gall Drama School), Juliusz Osterwa established the State Drama School. During its initial period, the School offered three-year courses for drama students. After being renamed the State Higher Acting School (in 1949), the studies were extended to a four-year course. Its current name, PWST National Academy of Theatre Arts, was given in 1955. The Academy’s first faculty was the Faculty of Acting.
