In January 2026, we held our first

"Railtown in Rome:

Acting Intensive & Retreat"

For two weeks, twelve actors lived on the grounds of a medieval castle, surrounded by olive groves and a nature reserve just outside the centre of Rome.

Strolls to the local village for a cappuccino became a daily morning ritual. We wandered the streets of Rome together, shared delicious meals, and immersed ourselves in some of the world's oldest art, culture, and history.

Our intensive days began with yoga, voice and breath work, then moved into relaxation and sensory exercises, character development and scene study.

The actors who joined us committed themselves to the work with joy, celebrated and supported each other, and became a true ensemble.

We look forward to the next one!
