drama school
The drama school from Teatro Prova • since 1981
For those who want to take their first steps on the stage.
For those who want to find out if theatre is for them.
For those who had already made their first steps, but want something more.
Three years, one evening a week to discover, experience and learn about the movement, voice, speech, diction, monologue, dialogue, improvisation, acting, directing, mask, character, apprenticeships, the show and the audience.
