Essere Theatre

Essere Theatre We help teachers and students all over Europe grow and develop through the performing arts. Erasmus+

The word 'essere’ can be translated as both the verb 'to be’ or the noun ‘being’ in Italian. We chose ‘essere’ as our name because we believe that theatre is an ideal vehicle for the development of presence, awareness and joy of being. It builds bridges, forges deep bonds and fosters an empathetic understanding of one another. In practice, our aim is simple: to support teachers and students all over Europe and beyond, grow and develop through the performing arts. We deliver programs as part of a wide-range of courses and projects that run the whole year round in various locations around Europe (Italy, Iceland, Spain, Czech Republic, Lithuania, Portugal, Ireland and more). We work very closely with our sister organization, The Chain Foundation, one of Europe's largest providers of cultural heritage and education programs for teachers. We also offer bespoke script-packages for schools, organize children’s concerts, and theatre summer camps.

It's really exciting to begin to see a few people begin to sign up for this! We’ve wanted to organize something like it for years- an opportunity for youth from around Europe and beyond to come together, learn and have fun through drama and music.
It's hard to not make this sound like a salesman's pitch, but here goes.......taking the megaphone out....climbing up a chair....clearing our throat......
SIGN UP TO THE ESSERE THEATRE INTERNATIONAL SUMMER CAMP!!

Morning of day three in Iceland with .eu …climbing Eldfell volcano on the stunning Westman Islands. The last time it erupted was in 1973 and the whole island had to be evacuated…….!
This afternoon we’ll be rehearsing scenes from Njall’s Saga at the local folk museum/ cultural centre.

We’ve come to the end of day two here in Iceland…and what a day. Tomorrow…we climb the volcano!

Some outdoor drama games and exercises today during The Chain Foundation’s course ‘Iceland- landscapes and legends’!
Teachers from all over Europe have come together to learn about Iceland and its fascinating heritage- in particular its great sagas! Essere’s role on the course is to bring these stories to life with the teachers, through drama and music, and it’s proving to be a wonderful week so far!

Iceland! ❤

Proud of our young cast in Ferrara who performed A Midsummer Night’s Dream last night! What a wonderful, committed group you are. You told this timeless tale so well, with so much passion and generosity! A big thank you to everyone involved in this project- Ms. Benetti first and foremost for organizing it, and to Mrs Bazzanini for her belief and support for the project. A special thanks also to Antonio on the lights and sound, to Alessandro and the staff at Sala Estense, to Adela and Sophie for the beautiful forest set, and last but not least to the families of these students and the young cast!
Grazie! We all did this together!
