The Three-year BA Program in Stage Staging Techniques prepares a professional who is able to take part in the entire process of realising a live production, both in the theatrical and musical events sectors, from the set-up phase to the running of the show, and on to the final archiving and storage phase.
The study programme is in line with the corresponding courses of the most important European academies and includes an intensive internship period in Italy or abroad.
Download here the study plan with the didactic organization.
Graduates will carry out professional activities in the various public and private spheres of theatre production, staging, and live events. The skills acquired in the three-year course can be spent in professions such as stage technician, stage coordinator, audio-lighting technician, up to technical management of performing arts institutions.

No explanations or justifications of its decisions will be provided.
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 insert detailed attachments 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 Teaching Secretariat.
Good luck!
