A short history
The training of actors in Sweden started in 1787, initiated by King Gustav III. Until the mid-60's the education of actors was closely connected with some of the theatres in Sweden; in Stockholm the Royal Dramatic Theatre.
In 1964 three separate acting academies were established. In Gothenburg and Malmö as parts of the Gothenburg and Lund Universities respectively , but in Stockholm as an independent academy. In 1996 a fourth acting academy was established in Luleå, in the north of Sweden.
