CANCELLATION

On February 14, 2023, the Ministry of Culture (DRAC Occitanie) informed us that the subsidy allocated to T&M in 2023 was divided by two. Solutions were sought but it was illusory to find a satisfactory one in so little time. It is thus with the most immense regret that the General Assembly of the company was forced to cancel this program, an unprecedented decision since all these years of activity and creation.

Since 1976, Atem, founded by Georges Aperghis and relayed from 1998 by T&M, has written a great chapter in the history of contemporary musical and lyrical theater in France and in Europe. From 1998 to 2022, fifty shows have been produced involving as many composers. The Academy's vocation is to allow young artists to learn and confront these contemporary repertoires and to give a continuation to this know-how.

About us

In Nîmes, in an ideal setting and an exceptional cultural context, the Academy offers a unique training program, dedicated to the study and practice of staging musical works.

Under the tutelage of a professional team, with well-known and experienced performers (singers and musicians), the Academy gives to selected teams the means of staging a work of reference of 20th century musical theater. Individual participants are invited to learn from and observe this process.

The productions are presented to the public and to a panel of professionals at the end of the Academy.

In 2023, the Academy adds to its program by welcoming Dmitri Kourliandski as an associate composer. He will lead a group of six young composers through the issues of writing and musical dramaturgy relating to contemporary musical theater.

The Academy has three main goals:

To offer a time of training, learning and practice,reflection and exchange to young artists with musical, theatrical and performing arts backgrounds,
To create connections between these young artists and the fundamental music theater repertoires of the 20th and 21st century
To share this educational period with the public and professionals.
