Theatre

The only differences between theatre and real life are privacy and distance. These days, nothing you do is private any more, and the only influence you can exert over this is the distance you maintain. The only thing theatre and life have in common is ‘being’. Acting is the art of staging and practising how to be. Acting is ‘being’ – so if you take acting lessons, whether for beginners or advanced students, you will improve your mastery of ‘being’. Musical theatre, dance theatre, opera, monologues, stand-up comedy, tragedy or interactive theatre: there are countless forms and styles, each with its own techniques.

Federico Silvestri

Federico is a PhD researcher in biomedical engineering and Theatre teacher. He graduated from the international theatre academy ITAF and worked with several aspects of theatre, from improvisation to the more introspective sides. During this course he would like to give you an introduction to some of them, so to have the chance to discover what you might like the most. He loves theatre because he thinks it teaches empathy and how to step into someone else’s perspective, as well as connect with others in ways that are difficult in everyday life. He hopes he can share this passion and perspective with you throughout this course.
