Antoine Innocente
I am Antoine Innocente, born in 1972, in Lecce, South of Italy. At the age of 19, I began doing theatre in Astragali, a school of physical and acrobatic theatre.
Since then I have been studying theatre, Clown, Comedia del Arte, Mime, Method Acting, in different schools in Milan, Bologna, Barcelona, Paris, Buenos Aires, with different masters. Amongst them were; Jean Meningue, Enrique Pardo, Andrè Casaca, Jango Edwards, Sandra Cavallini, Vladimir Olshansky, Carlo Boso and many others.
I’m grateful to my masters, for all they have given me, however, I don’t identify myself with their styles, because one’s own style is an extraordinary discovery.
