At EÃ’LIA, the acting department has always benefited from its direct contact with the professional world.Everyday in their classrooms, actors, actresses, playwrights and professional directors have found (and continue to find) a space to grow and explore new concepts, either as teachers or as students.
Acting at EÒLIA takes an eclectic approach (including different techniques and styles that are constantly reevaluated and renewed) to expand the acting range of our students –aspiring actors and actresses—as much as possible, providing them with the tools and helping them discover what it is that makes them different and therefore unique as communicators and as actors.
