Teaching Methods

Direct contact with materials and techniques will be privileged in the sense that students know how to carry out and use the various techniques as teaching resources.
They will also have the opportunity to deepen their knowledge through audiovisual media, contacts with professionals and study visits.
Teaching methodologies are based on 3 vectors:
1-availability of tools and bibliographic references for carrying out theoretical and technical research focusing on theatrical techniques in animated ways;
2-in technical realization / artisanal production of different supports and creative exploration of different techniques;
3- In the development of a dramatic project in animated ways, in an interdisciplinary perspective, as a space for pedagogical experimentation in the context of pre-school and primary education.
