Folketeatret is Denmark's oldest theatre building, and this guided tour takes school groups behind the scenes to see how a theatre production comes together. Pupils walk through the theatre machinery and visit the paint room, the carpentry workshop, the make-up department and the costume workshop, learning the key terms of theatre along the way.
The route also takes in the theatre's three stages, Store Scene, Hippodromen and Kvisten, and its foyer. The tour can be tailored to a chosen theme, a specific performance or the age group and learning goals of the class, and it suits lessons in Danish, drama, history and personal development.
