The Antonio de Nebrija University is including in its academic offerings for the 2007/08 academic year the Esadt-Nebrija Drama Studies program, which culminates in a BA (Hons) in Drama awarded by the University of Kent in the UK and a degree in Dramatic Arts from Nebrija University itself. The official presentation of these studies took place on Tuesday the 9th, with the participation of two of the most prestigious figures in the Spanish performing arts scene: Mario Gas and Fermín Cabal.
Fermín Cabal, writer, playwright, screenwriter and film and television producer, In addition to being a professor at ESADT-Nebrija, he was in charge of introducing Mario Gas, whom he praised for all his artistic facets, both as a voice actor, stage director, and even as an actor.
Perhaps the most appreciated moment by the audience that attended this event in large numbers was the speech by Mario Gas, Director of the Teatro Español, who spoke in the inaugural lecture about "The Actor's Training." Mario Gas has jokingly stated that more than knowing what an actor is, what he knows best is "its price", and perhaps the most important thing is to answer "Why does one want to be an actor, why does one want to metamorphose into the skin of other characters in order to offer truths from a lie?" The Director of the Spanish Language Institute has insisted that "An actor is both born and made." because he has met great talents that have been lost due to lack of study, and people with fewer qualities who have grown artistically due to their dedication to study and learning.
Mario Gas continued his speech by commenting on the problems faced by Drama Schools 30 years ago, "an excessive culturalization of actor training and a huge neglect of actor practice." For Mario Gas, things have now changed, and An actor "is a craftsman who must master the instruments of his trade and take care of his voice, phonation, breathing, master his body and seek emotional memory."
Finally, the Director of the Spanish Language stated that "The best actors are those who doubt, who learn, and who work with their colleagues and in service to the show. It is from this work of making and unmaking that good performances emerge." The presentation of the new ESADT-Nebrija drama studies concluded with a lively question and answer session.
