TRAINING AND PROGRAMS FOR YOUNG PEOPLE

The training of new professional figures is one of our most important priorities. Since 1998 the Teatro Stabile del Veneto has managed the Accademia Palcoscenico school for actors. The Veneto Theatre School and Employment Model (TeSeO) was created in 2018 through a Program Agreement with the Veneto Region, which included the Accademia Teatrale Veneta as a partner. TeSeO is an innovative model for young talents which stimulate their vocation and offers concrete employment benefits. A territorial system that trains highly qualified actors, involving high school students and different professionals of the show.

The care taken in the production choices and in the composition of the programs has not lost sight of the attention to what the public of tomorrow will be with the Children's Theater activity, the events dedicated to families, the creation of workshops dedicated to specific age groups. of age as well as theatrical contests between schools in the Veneto region in which students were able to express their theatrical feelings in front of an audience of citizens/jurors.

PROGRAM

Since 2013, the programming of the Teatro Stabile has been inspired by an action strategy strongly rooted in the territory of the Veneto Region, in particular between Padua, Venice and Treviso, three cities of great artistic value and consolidated cultural traditions.

The current territorial dimension, combined with a national broad scope and a strong international vocation, as well as a cultural project that looks to the future by investing in the new generations, make the Teatro Stabile del Veneto one of the most important engines for the cultural development of the entire Region.

Goldoni's productions are very frequent, and in general those of the theater of the 17th and 18th centuries, but contemporary dramaturgy is not neglected either (among others Furio Bordon, Giuseppe Manfridi, Stefano Massini, Massimo Carlotto, Vitaliano Trevisan, Tiziano Scarpa, Alessandro Baricco); during the management of the Olimpico the repertoire also expanded to ancient dramaturgy.

Equally recent is the recovery of the Venetian dramaturgy of the last century. The shows of the Teatro Stabile del Veneto are continuously present in the national theater panorama. Since 2002 there have also been tours abroad with significant stops such as Berlin, Paris, Lisbon, Moscow, Hamburg, Barcelona, Madrid.
