Call for Applications – “Scena Erasmus” Theatre Workshop (Fifth Edition, Second Term)
Applications are now open to participate in the second term of the fifth edition of the theatre workshop “Scena Erasmus”, a project organized by the University Theatre Centre (CUT) and the Teatro Lunaria Association in collaboration with:
- ERASMUS+
- EUNICE – European University for Customized Education
- Europe on Scene Network, led by the University of Valencia
The project was created to establish an international student theatre company that will become part of the network, provide opportunities for cultural exchange among young people of different nationalities, and help foreign students learn the Italian language.
Requirements
Participation is completely free of charge, and no prior theatre experience is required.
The call is open to incoming Erasmus students in Catania during the second semester of the 2025/26 academic year, as well as to all students enrolled at the University of Catania. The company will consist of 70% foreign students (enrolled or on mobility in Catania) and 30% Italian students enrolled at UNICT, for a maximum of 20 participants.
In addition, students, researchers, and staff from universities belonging to the EUNICE Alliance who are in Catania on mobility during the relevant semester may also join upon request.
If the number of applications (non-EUNICE) exceeds the available places, priority will be given to ensuring the widest possible variety of countries of origin. Gender balance and broad representation of the different departments will also be guaranteed.
Workshop schedule
The workshop will normally take place on Wednesdays, from 4 March to 27 May 2025, from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., at the CUT headquarters in Piazza Università 13, Catania.
The first introductory meeting will be held on 4 March at 7:00 p.m. This meeting will be open to anyone interested in learning about the initiative before enrolling in the workshop. During the meeting, the activities will be presented and the final schedule of the workshop, rehearsals, and final performance will be agreed upon.
