Irreversible and irresistible
shapeshifting rigorous fun
A note from Giovanni Fusetti
After the end of the five-year cycle of the Kiklos School in Padua, in 2004, I have been working on a new structure of a long term training program, designed around the evolution of my pedagogic approach. The new vision is the HELIKOS Project, from a greek word meaning spiral.
The school started with an advanced teachers training in Boulder, Colorado (Fall 2009). In October 2010, it has opened the THREE YEAR TRAINING program. October of 2011 saw a second group of students begin the three-year program. The first class of students has completed the training in May, 2013, and the second class has graduated in May 2014.
Between October 2013 and June 2014, Helikos has offered a ONE-YEAR TRAINING in Theatre Creation.
It its four seasons in Florence, Hèlikos has gathered students from Italy, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Great Britain, Norway, Slovenia, Switzerland, Russia, Turkey, India, South Africa, Argentina, USA, Australia and New Zealand.
