Gyms
Train to make art. NOA's gyms are regular evenings of music and theatre in Bologna with drop-in attendance: as in a gym, you train together, each at your own pace, without having to be good already and with nothing to prove.
Your first session is free: come, try, then decide.
Our courses, gyms and events are held in Italian. If you are not sure whether a session is right for you, write to us.
How a gym works
Come when you want.
The evenings are fixed, every week, from 20:30 to 22:00. Come to one, to several or to none: there is no obligation to attend and no need to be caught up.
Leave when you want.
No renewals and no strings attached. You pay for the month you take part in: if you cannot make it one month, you do not pay for it.
Within everyone's reach.
We are a social promotion association: we set our fees so that making art and culture is accessible to everyone and not a luxury for a few, even when everything around costs more.
The more you train, the less you spend.
Every gym starts with a free first session.
Theatre
PLAY, the theatre game
Theatre as a game: reading, storytelling, voice and body, to explore and experiment with curiosity and freedom. Every Thursday evening, open to anyone, with no preparation and no pressure.
