Free Masterclass - A dynamic session designed for those who wish to improve their Italian through theatre - with Bianca Bonino

Istituto Italiano di Cultura Sydney

This acting masterclass in Italian will be led by actress Bianca Bonino, who will guide participants on a journey to discover the musicality of the Italian language through poetry and short literary excerpts.The session will begin with listening and exploring the rhythm of words, highlighting how pronunciation — even before formal diction — is essential to bringing a text to life. Through simple and enjoyable word “chewing” exercises, participants will work through phonetic challenges and gain greater confidence in spoken expression.The masterclass will also spark curiosity about foreign texts translated into Italian, exploring how the language transforms and resonates in ever-changing ways.Finally, everyone will be invited to step into the spotlight by performing short scenes from Tragedies in Two Lines by Achille Campanile — a light-hearted and engaging way to immediately put newly acquired skills into practice.For Italian language students.
