<p>I normally avoid saying anything directly about my own program. But. Coastal Carolina University is the only BFA in Physical Theatre offered in the U.S. It is a popular way to train outside of the states, but only now is starting to get traction here. Our program spends three years on campus and one year in Italy studying with the Accademia dell"Arte. There, the students will study in Arezzo but will also take master classes in Milan and Paris as well as likely travel to Turkey to present a devised physical theatre piece. If you want a degree in Physical Theatre, CCU is a strong option. </p>
<p>KatMT did put up other training options. I can add dozens internationally to that list. If you are really interested in a taste of Physical Theatre on the west coast, I would highly recommend the Clown Conservatory at the Circus Center of San Francisco. The director of that program is a fantastic teacher and his company is amazing. They are currently travelling the summer circuit in Europe (based in Essex.) </p>
<p>PM me if you have questions about physical theatre at all. Or, put them up here and I’ll do my best to answer. This is my passion, and why I started the program at CCU.</p>
