National Theatre School of Canada;

The aim of these courses:
-
First is to discover the hidden possibilities of architectural spaces, and understand their spiritual meaning and expression.
-
Through the history of Mankind architectural spaces leave imprints, impacting on the human individual as much as on the communities.
-
Second is how and why we understand these imprints?
-
The evolution of the mind through the history of Mankind shows lots of similarities to our personal development.
-
Third is to see and understand how much the architectural spaces give us not only the instrument to express, but also a method to analyse theatre plays in an organic way.
