Civic Accademy of Dramatic Arts “Nico Pepe”, Italy

The Civic Academy of Dramatic Art Nico Pepe is a structure of public theatrical formation affirmed to national level. It welcomes students coming from the whole Italian territory and also from the foreign countries in the circle of cultural exchanges with the different European formative realities particularly from Russia and from Oriental Europe.

For a few years now, the “Nico Pepe” has been reinforcing and extending its work on languages and on theatre languages by introducing English, German, Spanish and French speaking authors, besides continuing the drama section in friulano language. We believe this is a winning bet and a choice of high cultural level, particularly in the new enlarged European Union.

The opportunity to explore different languages is one of the distinctive features of this Academy. We believe it is an important occasion of cultural growth and a valid training for tomorrow's actor, who must be creative, versatile and cultured. Students also have the opportunity to become acquainted with the culture of the territory that hosts them, in connection with all theoretical and practical disciplines.
