Theatre in Education Tour
About the project
Sophia Trozzo, operations mgr.
Seeking
energetic, enthusiastic, and flexible actors and storytellers to
participate in 'Acting and Workshops' tours in schools across Italy from
January to May 2025. Each tour group will perform in various regions of
Italy. Performances consist of material adapted for a particular
language level, focusing on a particular theme and grammatical point.
This group works exclusively with primary and middle school age groups.
Acting
and Workshops repertoire: Three fairytales and six sketches. Each show
is followed by a workshop. The actors split the audience into smaller
groups and run 30 minute workshops which include games, songs, and
activities relating to the didactic element of the show.
Storytelling
tour repertoire: five fairytales and workshops. There is just one
Storytelling group that will travel across Italy next year. In this
tour, classrooms will be transformed into dream spaces, where the
children are led interactively through enchanting stories. These again
focus on a particular language level, theme, and grammatical point. This
group works exclusively with primary school children.
Company
states: "EDUCO organizes English language projects for Italian students
and teachers on a national level. We have spent the past 18 years
training teachers in how to effectively and humanistically use English
in their classrooms, as well as teaching English to Italian children all
across the country. Our projects include full immersion English summer
camps for children, a theatre-in-education tour (TEATRINO), CLIL
workshops, and international teachers’ courses.
"TEATRINO is
EDUCO’s Theatre in Education programme. It is the largest and most
diverse of its kind in Italy. We at Teatrino make it our mission to
teach and promote spoken English to children in a fun and interactive
way, through various areas of the performing arts, including acting,
singing, dancing, music, and also puppetry. Each year, over 100,000
children and teachers participate in our program."
