And that's what former participants* say:

"Thank you ... and also for the again exciting course evening yesterday. Every time I have a lot of fun and I draw a lot of energy from it. ..., because I think your lessons are very, very good. Above all I like the fact that although you have been in business for so long, you can still imagine that the student doesn't know things yet or doesn't understand them the first time. Unfortunately this is not always the case with many other courses (no matter which branch). They throw incomprehensible (German...) words around, present facts in a complicated way only to make the matter interesting. This is not the case in your courses. Many thanks, it is simply pure fun! M.

"The cooperation with you helped me very much and did me good. ... I thank you already now for your great commitment and the constant motivation." N.

"The course is super, thank you also for your untiring employment ... on camera actors to trim. One notices your passion in every second." D.

"I really thank you for your time, your patience and your knowledge! C.

"Thanks for the great lessons yesterday, I had a lot of fun and now I understand the scene much better! E.

"It was a great class, thank you. I learned a lot in the basic camera acting course.... I'm really looking forward to the Meisner course." S.

"I find your courses incredibly instructive, also I find it impressive to hear the suitable examples from your own experiences. Because you can understand so much better that such things can really happen." C.

"The courses with you give me a lot of pleasure. I am grateful, I have found you the ZES ..... I am happy to continue working with you". M.

The offers at the ZES Center for Development in Drama are conducted in High German. However, many participants are multilingual or would like to work in the English-speaking world and are therefore happy if they can perform scenes or improvisations in English. Since the instructor has lived and studied in the US for many years, he can also repeat an explanation in English at any time. There are no age restrictions at ZES.
