FIELD PROJECT
The Field Project is an opportunity for the students to interact “from within” with the working environment of the Piccolo Teatro.
The class of students is divided into groups: each group is assigned a different office of the theatre and is followed by a tutor from the Piccolo. The Field Project follows on from the theory lessons in class organised by the Piccolo Teatro di Milano: through this experience the students will have the opportunity to apply the models of theory acquired in class directly with the Piccolo’s professional staff, contextualising what they have learned within the reality of daily working life.
