«The Src is an experience that looks at innovation in the cultural field – explains the artistic director Walter Cordopatri – and in this sense we are starting an ambitious path that intends to merge together the needs of art and the peculiarities of the territory. At the moment there are no acting schools in Calabria and we, with courage, try to give a qualified opportunity to many people, especially young people, who wish to learn and compete in the field of acting. We create a real school - he continues - and for this we rely on recognized professionals focusing on their skills. Saturday will be a beautiful day - concludes Cordopatri - and I want to thank the Municipality of Cittanova and all the partners and sponsors who intended to support this project. A special thank you goes to Giorgio Colangeli who, despite his many commitments, decided to come to Cittanova to give his contribution to our journey."
