Il Tempio del Burlesque
Il Tempio del Burlesque is the leading burlesque school in Italy, founded in 2010 by Grace Hall: since then it has been a reference point for training in this art in the country. With NOA, Grace Hall brings the Feminine Spirit Alchemy course to Leggere Strutture.
Grace Hall
Grace Hall, often described by the press as "the Italian queen of burlesque", is a pioneer of this art in Italy. A professional actress under the name Emma Nitti, she has national and international collaborations in cinema, television and theatre. She holds a degree in Cinema History and Criticism from Sapienza in Rome and trained as an actress at the Conservatorio Teatrale ex Scaletta, and has furthered her studies with masters such as Carlo Boso on Commedia dell'Arte and Eugenio Barba on the techniques of the Odin Teatret.
She is the author, director and producer of the documentary Burlesque Extravaganza, a road movie through the world of international burlesque shot across Europe, the United States and Canada, available on Prime Video.
What the press has said about her
"Best performer of 2015."
"The undisputed protagonist of Burlesque: when she steps on stage she captivates the attention of men and women: sensual movements and a warm voice are her weapons of seduction."
"An astonishing Grace Hall, talented actress and icon of Italian burlesque."
"Unchallenged star of Italian burlesque."
"Grace Hall, queen of Italian burlesque, enchanted everyone with her voice and her mix of sensuality and elegance."
"A splendid enchantress with superb singing skills, and an old-fashioned beauty, she showed the audience what true talent married to the art of burlesque can be."
The course with NOA
From October 2026, Grace Hall brings Feminine Spirit Alchemy to Leggere Strutture, a programme that weaves together burlesque, theatre and work on the body in terms of expression and female empowerment.
