PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB
Price: 550 €
A photography club where students learn to see the world differently, not just capture it.
We cover the essentials - aperture, shutter speed, and composition - then quickly move into shooting real stories. Students create photo essays, portraits, and visual narratives from everyday life and overlooked places.
We take learning outside with walks, field shoots, and creative challenges across the city. Work is shared, discussed, and refined through supportive critique and group feedback sessions.
No special camera or photography equipment is required. Students can simply use a smartphone, making the course accessible to everyone while still allowing them to develop strong photographic and storytelling skills.
It all leads to a final showcase and a portfolio that feels personal, meaningful, and ready to share.

PAROLE IN SCENA: ATELIER DI TEATRO E DRAMMATURGIA
Price: 400 €
Il corso è tenuto in italiano, in ottica di potenziamento linguistico
Buio. Una luce si accende sul palco: un ragazzo (LUI) è seduto da solo su una panchina, si guarda intorno incuriosito.
Entra una ragazza (LEI). I due si scambiano uno sguardo imbarazzato. LEI, lentamente, raggiunge la panchina e si siede di fianco a LUI.
LEI: (dopo qualche secondo) Non so da dove cominciare.
Pausa. LUI e LEI si scambiano uno sguardo di conforto.
LUI: Forse basta solo cominciare.
Forse anche tu, ogni tanto, non sai da dove cominciare: hai qualcosa dentro (una storia, un'idea, un’emozione) ma non sai ancora che forma prenderà, né con quale voce dirla.
Parole in scena è lo spazio per scoprirlo.
Un laboratorio extracurricolare per ragazzi e ragazze dai 14 anni, dove il teatro diventa il luogo in cui trovare la propria voce. Non solo con le parole, ma con il corpo, lo sguardo, il respiro, il silenzio, lo spazio che occupi quando entri in scena.
Lavoreremo insieme su:
- il corpo e la voce, come primi strumenti di espressione
- l'ascolto e lo spazio, perché stare in scena vuol dire essere vigili, coscienti e pronti ad accogliere
- la scrittura drammaturgica, per imparare a costruire una storia da raccontare
Il percorso ti accompagnerà passo dopo passo dall'esplorazione personale fino alla creazione di un testo originale, scritto insieme al gruppo. Il viaggio si conclude a maggio, sul palco, con la messa in scena dello spettacolo che avremo creato insieme.
Non serve esperienza, serve solo la voglia di mettersi in gioco! Con le parole, con il corpo e con gli altri.
