So today I got the news that I was accepted into a one year exchange program to Florence. I will be doing art history one day a week, and spend the other four days designing electronic art in a studio... wooot! So I'm already sold, but my girlfriend is on the fence about whether or not to come. She is an actress, does not speak Italian, and is worried there will not be anything for her to do for 8 month's if she were to come with. Although I would love for her to take up ceramics, mouldmaking, printmaking, and other such fantastic stuff she could maybe do in Italy, her heart is that of an Actress... and I could not bear to take her away from her craft for that long. So... anyone know Florence? Do you know what the english speaking film / theater community is like there (if there is one)? Are there any good school or training that she could do in Italy (heck even a one day a week course would be enough to satisfy the acting bug) Thanks in advance...
