Welcome to Malmö Student Theatre
IMER Student Theatre (or just Malmö Student Theatre) is a part of Malmö University IMER’s theatre course and thus a student project based group. It was started in 2004 and has since then set up several productions each year. Theatre & Social Justice, the course at Malmö University, studies the theory and practice of theatre. More info at: www.edu.mah.se/EN207E/.
The Malmö Student Union also has an theatre called in Swedish, Studentteatern, which which started in 2001 and is currently inactive. Student Theatre (English) and Studentteatern (Swedish) have often work very closely together since the spring of 2004. Contact the student union if you wish to start up Studentteatern and be a member of its board.
The english group is part of Malmö University’s school of IMER and run by Adam Gray, teacher of English and Theatre. The ensemble shifts from group to group, production to production. Malmö Student Theatre is also an organisation within Malmö Amature Theatre Forum (MAF), Scandinavia’s largest amateur theatre building and an umbrella organization for Malmö’s amateur theatre groups (about 30).
Everyone is welcome to join and get involved (you do not need to be a student). You do not need to have any previous experience in theatre. There are student project groups who need help every term and auditions are held from time to time. You are also encouraged to direct a production yourself. Choose a play and then present your idea to the Theatre class. Many project groups are glad to have an outside director.
This theatre works and performs in English. Last year 8 of 9 plays were done in English. Workshops were also held in English. However, if you want to do only Swedish, there is a place for you if you contact the student union and organize the Swedish group “Studentteatern”, with whom Student Theatre has always worked closely together.
Besides being creative, theatre is also a social activity. We come together from different walks of life, but we all have this common intrest that ties us together. Therefore, we love to spend time together outside of rehearsals and workshops! Sometimes at a party or go together to see a good play at the local theatres. We always spend time together to have a snack after workshops and sometimes after rehearsals too… or go grab a beer at a local pub! Please, feel free to come join in the fun. Welcome!

The following history is in Swedish explaining some of our history. This will remain in Swedish as it is taken from the Archives of the university homepages, old articles in Swedish. For a complete list of our plays in English and Swedish, please got the catagory “History of Productions”.
Nybildad grupp
Malmö Studentteater bildades i början av hösten 2001. Det började med att studenten, Anders Malmros, sökte teaterkollegor via lappar på högskolans anslagstavlor under våren. En liten grupp bildades, men arbetet började på allvar när Björn Levander kom in i september. De första veckornas repetitioner ägnades åt improvisationer för att locka fram amatörskådespelarnas scenspråk.
– Jag följde med en kompis av en slump, berättar Malin Johansson, som nyligen började på programmet för kompetensutveckling. Men det verkade så spännande att jag också ville vara med. Jag tycker att det är väldigt jobbigt att stå inför människor, så det här är ett sätt att utmana min rädsla.
Alexandra Glatz, Scen- och teaterteknologi, och Anders Malmros, initiativtagare till teatergruppen och blivande lärare, har båda scenvana. Att Malmö högskola fått en egen studentteater tycker de är utmärkt.
– Det är svårt att hitta en teatergrupp med lediga platser, säger Alexandra Glatz. Gruppen är jättekul och vårt arbete med både prosastycken och kontaktannonser är verkligen spännande.
2001
Malmö studentteater grundas på hösten. Teaterns första produktion blir collageverket De älskande (se artikel på mah.se) som innehåller bl a maskspel och pantomim. Ledare och regissör för teatern blir Björn Levander.
2002
Commediapjäsen Arlecchinos äventyr/Nätter i Venedig sätts upp.
2003
Malmö studentteater blir medlem i Malmö Amatörteaterforum (MAF). Det satiriska sånglustspelet Talismanen (se artikel på mah.se) sätts upp.
2004
Molières George Dandin (se artikel på mah.se), August Strindbergs Moderskärlek och Sartres Inför lyckta dörrar sätts upp under vintern och våren. Pjäserna spelas på K3, Malmö högskola. Efter dessa uppsättningar slutar regissören Björn Levander p g a forskning.
Under våren spelas inom ramen för Malmö högskolas kurs Modern Drama pjäserna The Zoo Story av Edward Albee, regi Mariana Andersson och Raisin in the Sun av Lorraine Hansberry, regi Niyi Coker (se www.raisininthesun.info.se). Dessutom spelas också Security av Sabrina Chapadjiev, regi Karin Stenson.
På hösten tar Karin Stenson, en av studentteaterns skådespelare, över rollen som regissör och under hennes ledning sätts Shakespeares A midsummer night’s dream upp i Blackboxen på K3. Det blir en av teaterns största uppsättningar med ett tjugotal skådespelare.
2005
I januari blir Marcel Stanciucu teaterns regissör. Han har tidigare arbetat i bl a England och Rumänien och har lång erfarenhet. Under våren sätts den engelska pjäsen Desdemona upp, liksom Luigi Pirandellos Sex roller söker en författare.
Dessutom görs ytterligare några mindre produktioner på engelska inom ramen för Malmö högskolas kurs Theatre and Social Justice: Bite My Thumb av Carolyn Gage, regi Matilda Marshall och April Vuorijärvi samt Choices, manus och regi IMER-studenter på kursen.
2006
