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.
