We have had a great first week here at the Accademia dell’Arte– we already feel a connection to the culture here in Arezzo. Thinking forward to the end of the program, we can imagine some goals for ourselves to reach in the next month. We are eager to expand and challenge our academic perspectives, whether we are focused on  improving our understanding of Commedia dell’Arte or crafting masks, paintings and documentaries.

We also look forward to immersing ourselves in the Italian language and integrating ourselves into the community in Arezzo. And of course, we are already developing bonds with our peers in the short week we have been here. We are eager to see what the next three weeks have in store for us and how we can incorporate the Italian lifestyle into our studies!
