Come and discover our new, made in ATF, initiative for schools!

The “Menù d’Autore” project was born with the aim of offering schools and theaters a collection of shows that engage students of various age groups through performances that tell the life, works and poetics of various playwrights.

We invite you to the next event:

Saturday December 2nd – h. 7.30pm

A theatrical aperitif will welcome you, where you’ll be able to enjoy delicacies in the company of the characters born from the shows, followed by a  hat-tip show.

We recommend booking!

BOOK

 The project offers a diverse menu of shows from which schools have the opportunity to choose how many and which ones to offer to children.

Theatrical language is a privileged channel, an educational and inclusive tool, through which it is possible to express the culture, history, traditions, habits and customs of a society, all in a fresh and stimulating way.

The proposed shows deal with authors who not only marked the history of theatre, but also influenced the art, literature and society of their time, thus touching on interdisciplinary themes.

By choosing from the Author’s Menu (Menù d’Autore in italian), individual shows can be programmed for specific occasions, or highly personalized school events can be created.

The management team has also launched a crowdfunding campaign to self-finance the project, making it possible to purchase equipment for lights, music and scenography.

RECAP – La luce in scena How did the lighting engineering workshop held last week at the Atelier go?

The workshop held by Rosa Vinci on lighting engineering wrapped up beautifully: two days with modules of 6 hours each, with a total of 12 participants! The students learned the theory and immediately put into practice the knowledge acquired through small self-courses (group workshops) where they were able to experiment with different types of headlights, color theory and much more!

If you are interested in the course but let it slip through your fingers, write to our email for info… We are already preparing to repeat the workshop in the coming months!

COUR’AGE – last meeting

Showcase: Brussels 2023

As all good things in life, our incredible program, this almost two-year-long journey is reaching its final destination in the final week of November, returning to the city where the seed of this idea was planted, in Brussels, Belgium, on 24-30/11. The students are going to take their own creative time to compose their own performances, there will be open rehearsals of the students’ work in the second to last day of the meeting, which will lead to the performance everyone has been waiting for, the FINAL STUDENT PERFORMANCE on the 29th of November. The students are, will and have always been the corner stone of this project, and they are the center of attention, as the central aim of Cour’Age is to provide aspiring acting coaches/future professional performers with the best toolcase possible. The workshops and masterclasses will take place at Université Libre De Bruxelles / Campus Solbosch, with the precious guidance of Eco Culture Asbl. On a serious note, we are fully aware that the world as we know it is undergoing serious crises, and we as artists have a duty to speak about these global issues, but we do it in our own way. We aim and hope to inspire and motivate, as we always have. We promote and believe in lifelong education.   Our Collective Vision We aim to help participants in mastering these training methods, so that students can grow and move towards creative independence and artistic freedom. Life long learning cultivated in this Trans-european approach supports the transition where Art in a country is no longer considered as an isolated, local issue. And as always, we continue with the exchange of methods between us teachers also, enriching our practice and interconnecting our theatrical approaches.

The lighting engineering workshop, right here at the Atelier Teatro Fisico!

The workshop will be a journey of discovery and understanding in the world of lighting engineering with the goal of educating the students on planning and managing lighting for the stage. The workshop will provide the students with the right tools for both the planning and the practical aspects of lighting engineering.

The educational path has a distinct theme, in order to stimulate the understanding of the various languages, expressive and communicative alike, of lighting engineering.

The subject will be discussed and put in action every step of the way, from basic theory to practice, to allow the students to fully understand the best applications of lighting engineering.

“To write, is to darken a white page; to do theater, is to light up a black box.”
(Joel Jouanneau)

Contents and general lines:

• Electricity and basic nomenclature

Who is Rosa Vinci?

Clown & Comedy Class

Clown is the art of making people laugh.

Whoever wishes to play a clown skillfully, must have a mastery and proper technique of Mime and Visual Comedy, combined with acting skills.

 The class, from 7 pm to 11 pm, will be held every Tuesday, from the end of October to the end of May!

Starting from the study of the historic circus clown, we will travel through different techniques and styles, thus discovering many new possibilities for making the audience laugh. This knowledge, integrated with the character traits of each participant with different cultural and emotional experiences, allows you to obtain a personal clown and a unique performance style.

Performing B-Party!

Did you know that this year the wondrous Performing Party – The students’ cabaret – turns 20 years old?

From the very beginning of the ATF, Philip Radice, who is its founder and director, discovered that many of the students enrolling in the school already had a performance background. This, integrated into the new material learned in school and then elaborated into a teaching methodology that involves the continuous creation and conception of new pieces, opened up the possibility that a show, instead of once a year, could be achievable every month!

This venture became a student-led and organized project.

So, in 2003, Philip launched a new variant of this never-before-established tradition, a monthly Variety show! He called it the Performing Party and the first one was born in October 2003. Apart from the pandemic period, every year we have never lost a monthly production. This means we have produced almost 200 hour and a half long shows!
