Publication of the "A.I.T. Handbook"

Publication of the "A.I.T. Handbook"

In December 2023, Emmanuel Gallot Lavallée (founder of the A.I.T.), Fiammetta Bianconi and Silvia Marcotullio (founders and directors of the A.I.T.) published a work that gathers and systematises the methodologies applied in the Academy's educational and pedagogical path, titled Manuale dell'Accademia Internazionale di Teatro. This text is presented as a genuine journey, through the various stages of the learning process, which leads the actor to develop their own artistic sensibility while combining technique and expressive ability. An interdisciplinary approach with particular attention to group dynamics, to the actor's physical training, and to the use of voice and body. Published by Cartman Edizioni, this volume is part of the Academy's Research and Development activities, which for years has been committed not only to training new generations of actors and directors, but also to reflecting on and innovating teaching methods in theatre pedagogy.

Graduation Ceremony at the Teatro Anfitrione

The traditional Graduation Ceremony of the Accademia Internazionale di Teatro took place on 21 and 22 June at the Teatro Anfitrione in Rome, featuring the graduating third-year students of the Degree Course in Acting.

The event, held over two days, took place at 3:00 pm in the presence of the Artistic Direction, the faculty, the families and numerous guests from the theatrical, academic and cultural world.

The ceremony marked the conclusion of an intense three-year programme of training, study and scenic research, during which the students undertook an artistic and professional journey aimed at the development of interpretative, technical and creative skills.

After the institutional greetings and the speeches by the faculty, the students officially received the First-Level Academic Diploma recognised by the MUR, with the public proclamation and the awarding of the certificates.

The event concluded with a convivial moment of sharing and celebration, sealing the milestone achieved and the beginning of a new artistic and professional path in the world of live performance.
