Founded in 1991, the Theatre Studies section offers sixty engineering students, from the second year onwards, practical theatre training managed by professionals from the theatrical world. The objectives include: exploration by the students of their own limitations and their freedom through improvisation, theatrical texts, and participation in a production managed by of a director.

The Theatre Studies section offers two options:

• The acting option: Workshops on improvisation, staging, voice...
   
• The light and sound option: an artistic journey based on stage design (light, sound, production...). 

It requires a certain motivation and real commitment.

Over the following two years, the workshop remains, complemented by students’ individual work. Specific training in lighting, sound and the production of shows is proposed to certain students.

Rehearsal by INSA Theatre Studies students, from different years, preparing “(É) GARE (ÉS)” directed by Didier Vidal, with the support of Serge Pillot
Tuesday 13 to Thursday15 May 2009

Enter the world of the station, in a work created from improvisations and scripts. A place of “goodbyes”, “farewells”, a place of suffering and hope, a place of tears, clasped hands and hasty promises, as well as a place of farewell smiles, words we never forget, kisses that last forever; this is the station. Students from Theatre Studies become travellers who come and go in this space that has become their world. Relaxed or in a hurry, discrete or rebellious, lovers and loners, funny and not so funny, guided or guideless....The station brightens or saddens the heart, it always opens up a journey, it never stops ... and nor does our enjoyment.
