2026/27 Program
November 2026 – May 2027 · Catanzaro (CZ)
Cinematic Acting Lab
A yearly path for curious, passionate people, or for anyone who wants to explore their own emotional side and their confidence with their body. Open to children, teens and adults — this is not a professional academy. We welcome students from across the province of Catanzaro and from Calabria.
One path, for every lab
Children, teens and adults follow the same path, from working on yourself to interpreting a character, each at the pace and in the language of their age.
Awareness
Knowing and accepting yourself, letting go of judgment.
Body and voice
Physical presence, breath, stage space.
Emotion
Accessing and managing your own emotional side.
Character
Building and interpreting a role.

Our method
The five senses, always on
Sight
Look at the other person, really. A glance is already a line.
Touch
Feel the weight of your body, the contact, the space around you.
Hearing
Listen to who is in front of you: the voice is a wave.
Smell
A scent revives a memory. The breath opens the scene.
Taste
Savour the moment: the joy of playing seriously.
