Starting next year, the Boston University School of Theatre will be offering its performance majors the opportunity to study for one semester either at the Accademia dell’Arte, near Florence, Italy, or at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art (LAMDA), in London.

Previously, all of the BU Acting students and some of the Theatre Arts students (these are two different, student-selected “tracks” within the SOT BFA performance major) spent one semester at LAMDA. The semester abroad was, and still is, a required element of the Acting curriculum.

My son, a freshman, has become very enamored of physical theatre and says he will probably choose the Accademia, which specializes in it.

This is an unexpected new development! :)

I was wondering whether anybody here has studied at the Accademia dell’Arte or knows anyone who has.
