The Bachelor of Arts in Theatre provides three years of training, corresponding to 180 ECTS, with a study programme developed in relation to the objectives and skills defined in the profile.
Emphasis is placed on the more artisanal component of actor training: the approach is based on physical preparation and the acquisition of practical and theoretical skills related to various performance techniques.

The graduate with a SUPSI Bachelor’s degree in Theatre is an actor of movement theatre – physical theatre – who has a wide technical, artistic, and methodological background, able to impose himself in the theatre world thanks to a personal language and style.

The uniqueness of the Bachelor training, its richness – given above all by the variety of subjects learned – and the high academic standard allow graduates to move professionally in a wide and varied field of activity, with competences that are not constrained by language barriers. Also significant for the profession is the important experience in the field acquired thanks to the national and international productions and tours carried out during the studies, with the guidance of directors and external professionals.

ATD’s mission is to train young talents in the field of physical theatre, accompanying them in their artistic development: from learning movement and theatrical interpretation techniques to the realization of stage creations and a first discovery of a personal language.

In line with the principles of physical theatre, the various subjects are taught and developed in parallel throughout the three years, without any hierarchy between them, and during the three-year period they form a complete Study Plan in all its aspects.

The Study Plan (Programma di studio, PdS) is constantly in development: on the one hand the continuous exchange with the professional world of reference and on the other a continuous updating of the contents thanks to the stimuli coming from research and an in-depth theoretical studies, allow the PdS to adapt to the professional sector.

Study program (PdS)

The didactic path of the ATD is characterized by the teaching of subjects belonging to artistic contexts that for centuries have been considered individually: theatre, dance, and circus. Given the multidisciplinary nature of the PdS, the ATD student therefore works on several fronts at the same time, training in subjects very different from each other and for which he or she may have different attitudes. For this reason, the student should be observed in its entirety and not in a single specific field. All this is in line with the profile of the BA student in Arts of Theatre: “the graduate with a SUPSI Bachelor of Arts in Theatre is an actor of movement theatre who has a wide technical, artistic, and methodological background, able to impose himself in the theatre world thanks to a personal language and style”.

The PdS is constantly developing: on the one hand, the continuous exchange with the professional world of reference and, on the other hand, a continuous updating of the contents thanks to the stimuli coming from research and in-depth theoretical studies, allow the PdS to adapt to the professional sector.
