The Master of Fine Arts program at Accademia dell'Arte, offered in partnership with Mississippi University for Women, is the culmination of research and experimentation with diverse yet interrelated European performance trends broadly defined as Physical Theatre.
The program brings together some of the most innovative approaches currently available in Europe. Rooted in the spirit of the Commedia dell’Arte, or the ethos of the actor creator, the curriculum provides a high level of technical training for actors while fully preparing them to devise and create their own performance style. It is contextualized by the ongoing studies of history, aesthetics and social theory.
The program is divided into seven modules, each with a unique focus, yet always with a well considered continuity that will allow students to conceptualize their own experience as a unique performer/creator. Accademia dell'Arte is working in partnership with well-established schools, theatres and theatre companies in Europe in an effort to broaden the scope of student experience and training. Each training module of the program prepares students to move to higher levels of creative mastery and is divided with full attention to:
- Technical Mastery (body)
- Aesthetic Studies (form)
- Historical/Political/Social (content)
- Imaginative Realization (performance)
