VAPA Martha Hill Dance Theater Bennington College

CAMPUS COMMUNITY ONLY | The Accademia dell'Arte is a conservatory style school that hosts Physical Theatre and Dance Programs for students wishing to study and deepen their craft abroad in Italy. Representing the school and its work will be Chiara D'Anna, a core faculty member at the Accademia dell'Arte specializing in Commedia dell'Arte (a traditional Renaissance form of Theatre) and Sam McGehee, Devising Pedagogic Coordinator at the Accademia and specialist in exploring physicality, voice and presence in performance. Both Chiara and Sam are masters in their craft and will be sharing their way of working in a workshop/presentation. Whether it is dance or theatre, the Accademia dell'Arte places above all the Artist as central to their universe as creator and author of their own work. We invite you to get to know our school in Arezzo, Italy by participating in this workshop to immerse yourself into a small taste of Italy and the work we do. This workshop is free for all students, and we encourage Dance and Drama learners in particular to join us and learn more about the art of Commedia and how you might enjoy incorporating time studying in Italy to your Bennington Plan!
