Dopo il nucleo familiare, senza dubbio, è la scuola a rappresentare per il bambino il principale punto di riferimento educativo, il ponte tra il suo mondo interiore e la realtà che lo circonda. All'interno del percorso formativo del giovane individuo, il teatro, da anni, si inserisce come supporto didattico fondamentale. L'intento educativo del Teatro nelle scuole è primario, basti pensare che da anni si utilizza il palcoscenico come terapia per casi gravi di inserimento sociale
Le nostre Finalità
Il nostro laboratorio consente di conoscere, sperimentare, scoprire il teatro come un formidabile mezzo d'espressione.
Cosa vuol dire esprimersi? Esprimersi significa, da un lato prendere coscienza di sé, dall'altro manifestarsi al prossimo. Questi due momenti sono fondamentali per uno sviluppo armonioso della personalità. Attraverso l'arte teatrale possiamo percorrere con il giovane allievo una strada dalla triplice valenza ludica, pedagogica ed espressiva, tale da favorire alcuni importanti aspetti della sua formazione.
Possiamo distinguere quattro sfere principali nelle quali avviene lo sviluppo del bambino/ ragazzo:
Il nostro lavoro, interviene in tutti gli aspetti sopraindicati:
tocca la sfera fisica
tocca la sfera cognitiva
tocca la sfera affettiva
tocca la sfera sociale
Nel caso del Teatro in Lingua Inglese, il corso sarà tenuto da un tutor/coach madrelingua affiancata da Renato Solpietro un attore Italiano.

Our trip to Rome was made especially memorable with the help of our great tour guides Adrienne and Renato. Their personal expertise, local knowledge and lighthearted flair offered an outstanding experience compared with a crowded group tour. Besides they were so much fun!
We only wish they could have accompanied us for our entire European trip.Their willingness to do transfers and we appreciated their offer of 24 hr. assistance while we were staying in their beautiful city Roma.
We highly recommend their services and would gladly refer them as tour guides in Italy.

What a great time we had with "A&R!" You know, there are tours, and then there are TOURS!That was a huge blessing, to learn so much, and meet two great friends at the same time. After that marvelous departure of yours, we knew we'd already done everything God had for us to do in Rome. We're still talking about the trip, and those two, and how great everything was. I only buy Italian wine now, and we did a look-it-up study on Italian revolutions, having been stirred up on the subject by Professor Solpietro:O)
Thank you both!
Jim Toohey and Family Boulder, Colorado
Adrienne and Renato were fantastic tour guides. With three children
between seven and ten, we needed some special guides so that our children could relate to the
history. We definitely found them!! We would recommend them and use them every time we
go to Rome. Thanks again!

Professional, Personal and Passionate, these three words say it all about A&R Tours. Id been to the Vatican Museums before and was overwhelmed, so this time I decided to hire a guide, and honestly, I couldnt have found anyone better! A&R brought it to life. Their love and knowledge about art and art history made all the difference,this time I really learned something. It made the experience all the more memorable. After having such a great experience at the Vatican, I signed up for their Fountains Tour. What a fun afternoon! Renato is awesome, his English is perfect and his passion for Italian culture and history is unsurpassed. The tour was a perfect mix of history, Italian culture and a tasty coffee treat!
A&R tell all their clients to call if theres anything they can do for them, well they were sincire. Thank you A&R!! J. Jack Portland, OR
