Program Overview

Our semester-long program is built for theatre and acting students who are passionate about physical theatre and want to take their skills to the next level. If you're eager to grow as a performer—both technically and creatively—this immersive experience is designed with you in mind. ​We believe that the best way to deepen your artistic practice is by connecting directly with the roots of physical theatre, especially the rich traditions that began in Europe. Through hands-on training in powerful forms like Clown and Commedia dell’Arte (Italian masked theatre), you'll challenge yourself physically and vocally, expand your range of expression, and develop greater confidence and precision on stage. ​You’ll train in an environment that encourages collaboration, curiosity, and bold experimentation. Guided by experienced faculty, you’ll explore the balance between rigorous technique and imaginative play. By the end of the semester, you’ll return home with not only sharper skills but also a renewed artistic vision and a stronger sense of yourself as a performer.
