Dramatiska Institutet

Dramatiska Institutet, the Swedish Institute of Dramatic Art, commonly called just DI, was a Swedish university college in Stockholm, providing vocational training programmes in the fields of film, radio, television and theatre. DI was created with the expansion of the film school headed by the Swedish Film Institute, and started in Filmhuset, the Film House, when that building was inaugurated in January 1971. In 2004 DI moved a short distance to their own new building at Valhallavägen 189, also at Gärdet. In 2011, DI was merged with Teaterhögskolan, which provided the education and training of actors, and Stockholms dramatiska högskola, the Stockholm Academy of Dramatic Arts, was created. However, since 2020, that name is not in use anymore. Incorporating dance, circus and opera training, Stockholms dramatiska högskola, Stockholm University of the Arts, is now in operation.
