How would an ideal study at my university look like?
You are very dedicated, you have the desire to be precised, you love to work physically very hard and go towards your borders, you are responsible for your own path and are looking for the capacity to devise, to create your own performing arts style and way of working, than you are in the right place. You will meet highly dedicated and competent professors and you will find the concentrated and calm environment to be able to study.

What is existing?
The training with a specialization in Physical Theatre offers a unique path for students, with the goal of developing their creativity and their personality, as well as the acquisition and deepening of artistic techniques. The pedagogy of the Academy has established itself over the years, and takes its inspiration from the great masters and innovators of the twentieth century, among others: Rudolf Laban, Michael Chekhov, and Peter Brook, all the way through to the present, contemporary art scene.

The campus of the Accademia Teatro Dimitri, surrounded by stimulating natural beauty, stands out both for the intimacy of its environment and the international scope of its student body. It is characterized by the intensity of exchange of experiences and opinions, and by a very personal and direct relationship with the teachers. The intercultural component, including linguistic pluralism, is very present, and creates an enriching environment for study and work.

The Accademia Teatro Dimitri is affiliated with SUPSI (University of Applied Sciences and Arts of Southern Switzerland), and offers Bachelor and Master degree programs as well as courses for continuing education, each of which is internationally recognized. All courses are part of the formative education of contemporary theater based on the expression of the body.

What is missing?
A big city which brings you lots of input from outside.
