How it feels in Arnhem

Thor talks about the building where he studies: "The glass ceiling is at ground level outside, and a small moat has been created around it with swimming frogs. The building has a unique acoustics: you can hear each other well here. A friend in my class often sings. When he enters, I can hear him on the other side of the building because it echoes everywhere. You can also hear the frogs outside the ceiling croaking inside. I love that sound."

"The building is incredibly light and spacious, even though it's completely underground. It's actually a large basement, but it usually doesn't feel that way." 
Thor Braun

'Op mijn plek' is a weekly section in Volkskrant Magazine where the interviewees, in a beautiful location, talk about their taste and preferences in clothing, interior, and design.

You will be taught by professional actors and directors and work with directors and creators from the field.  

People from the film industry sometimes don't understand why I chose to go to School of Acting, but I really want to learn more about the profession."
