Master of Arts
in Theatre
In a rich and challenging environment, the Master of Arts in Theatre at Accademia Dimitri is designed as a space for performance and artistic experimentation.​
The program offers a wide range of approaches to theater and performance through the body and its expression. It is aimed at graduates of theatre- and art-related degree programs and established artists who wish to enrich their skills, experiences and methodologies by developing new connections within their practice.​​
The training initially provides common instruction for all students, and then diversifies into three different focuses: Physical Theatre, Figure Theatre (material, object, and puppet theater), and Applied Theatre Practice.

ContentsThe training involves learning different techniques of movement and theatrical interpretation, with the aim of acquiring a physical language and capacity for personal expression in Physical Theatre. In addition to the disciplines that form the foundation of the curriculum, the education also offers spaces for independent work and optional courses. The final year of the training is specifically dedicated to the scene and creation, providing tools for the production of the three diploma works in the sixth semester: one individual work realised independently, and two collective works directed by guest directors. Each year a tour of these works is planned in Switzerland and abroad.
