ABOUT BELL TIE TOURS

What is Theatre In Education?

TIE: Theatre In Education. An acronym that is especially important here in Italy, where Drama is not part of the regular students’ curricula and is something many students don’t get the chance to experiment and be involved in. Our TIE Tours focus on providing a Theatre experience for students all over the country and stimulate a positive approach to both Drama and the English language through that experience. All of our shows are highly interactive, fully immersive and fun, and are performed by our TIE Actors every year in front thousands of Italian students everywhere in the country, north to south, islands included.

Getting ready for tour

Our shows are highly interactive and involve acting, singing and some basic dancing too! Every year our actors join us at our Headquarters in beautiful Arma di Taggia, on the Ligurian Coast, and together we get ready for the tour ahead, blocking the shows, working on the songs and getting comfortable with the interactive parts of the shows and other teaching aspects of the role. Performing for an audience that might not understand your language presents a particular set of challenges and requires the actors to develop specific tools ( using a very slow pace, supporting your dialogue with gestures ), all of which we’ll work on extensively throughout the rehearsal process. It is very important that our actors walk into the rehearsal room with tons of energy, an open mind and a willingness to put themselves out of their comfort zone.
