Workshop in stage assistant

Overview

The workshop aims to acquaint the audience with the many skills possessed by the theatrical assistant director, a figure who plays a key supporting role to the director at all stages of a show's production-from staging to post-production.

Having important organizational responsibilities, the assistant director is an indispensable collaborator for a director, to whom he or she ensures the freedom to be able to devote himself or herself fully to the creative act.

The workshop is aimed at adults who have a keen interest in learning the role of assistant theater director and is offered to potential participants both as a preparatory experience for further stages of learning and as an opportunity to learn more about the Scala method. Specific experience in the field is not required for participation.
Length8 to 17 September, 2025
Attendance modeIn person
Mandatory, from Monday to Friday, between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m.
Participation fee€ 850

At the end of the workshop, upon reaching 75% of the hours of attendance, the student will receive a certificate of attendance issued by the Academy.

To apply, you have to register or login at Academy's Admission OnLine Platform (https://iscrizioni.accademialascala.it).

Once you have registered or logged in, the system will ask you to enter your personal data and will propose the Contract Conditions for participation, a document which must be signed and re-attached and which contains important contractual details, such as the right of withdrawal.

 

Once this step is completed, you will be asked to upload your curriculum vitae as detailed into the course brochure (if you haven't already downloaded it, do so now!)

Then, you will be asked to pay the admissions participation fee, by credit card or by online bank transfer, directly from the registration screen (the banks of the MyBank circuit are accepted: check first that yours is there too before proceeding).

 

At the end of these steps, a PDF summary of all the data entered will be generated, which must be signed as indicated and reattached.

At this point, registration is complete and goes directly to the Student's Office.

The Academy has agreements with accommodation, restaurants, theatres, cinemas and other shops, from which students can benefit - by presenting their ID card - or even candidates for selection, by presenting their full registration.
