Roberta Secchi

Actress and theatrical pedagogue. After studying Fine Arts, she diverted her energies towards the theater, following the encounter with Eugenio Barba's La canoa di carta and, subsequently, with the actors of the Odin Teatret and the scattered legacies left by Jerzy Grotowski.

In 1994 she was co-founder of the Teatro La Madrugada in Milan, with which she built a long training course with various masters of theatrical art and an intense experience of group theater that lasted almost twenty years. She created Lorca eran all about the life and work of Federico García Lorca, under the supervision of Torgeir Wethal. She currently stages PRISONWOOD – Meeting Djuna Barnes, on the life and work of the American writer, directed by Manuela Frontoni.

Since 2000 she has been carrying out theatrical pedagogical activities with adults, children and young people. She holds numerous seminars on physical and vocal training in Italy, Poland, Scotland, South Korea and Turkey. She collaborates with the University of Milan and Bicocca University for creative writing and reading aloud training projects.
