Theatre and movement courses: european tradition and contemporary method
The ATTM Academy’s theatre courses do not limit themselves to a single method: they intertwine the European theatrical tradition and that of pre-Columbian cultures with the legacy of the great masters of the 20th century, from corporeal mime to biomechanics, from masks to commedia dell’arte, from voice training to physical theatre, and Dramatic Biogeometry, Jose Quintana’s original method. A multifaceted approach, which involves sound and image technologies, to train well-rounded actors.
The Quintana Method
in 7 Steps
The course is divided into seven quarterly levels, spanning two and a half years. It begins with an introduction to the Dramatic Biogeometry technique, then moves on to the study of the geometry of the body in space, basic geometry, the four elements, animals and masks. All is applied to dramatic art and integrated with sound, image, and artificial intelligence. By the end, the students acquire autonomy and the ability to use everything they have learned creatively.
First level: Introduction to the Dramatic Biogeometry technique
Levels from two to six study different methods for using the geometry of the body in space (basic geometry, the four elements, animals, masks) applied to dramatic art, integrated with the use of modern sound and image technologies, including AI.
Seventh level: In the final quarter, the student acquires autonomy and the ability to creatively use the techniques learned.
Courses are held in Italian, Spanish, and English.
