Angelo Dello Spedale

I have been an actor for over twenty years.
Invited by various directors to contribute to their creations, I have performed on the stages of numerous Brussels theatres, including Le National, KVS, Le Rideau de Bruxelles, Théâtre Océan Nord, Le Varia, Les Martyrs, Le Public, and more. I have also performed in alternative spaces such as Les Vétérinaires and a warehouse in Hankar, in theatres in Lausanne like L’Arsenic and La Grange de Dorigny, and in Paris at L’Odéon.
The tours of these productions have expanded the map of venues where I have performed, enriching my perception of the stage-audience relationship and strengthening my craft.

My training includes:
First Prize from the Conservatoire Royal de Bruxelles, in the class of Pierre Laroche
A Master’s degree in Theatre Studies from the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters at UCL
In addition to sustained physical practice, I completed a professional training cycle focused on the voice based on the Feldenkrais method, supported by the Marie-Paul Godenne Foundation.

My early roles include Edmond in Edmond by David Mamet and Oedipus in Oedipus at Colonus by Sophocles.
The characters that have left the deepest impression on me are Malvolio in Twelfth Night by W. Shakespeare, performed in Commedia dell’Arte style, the Guardian in On se suivra de près by Aurélie Namur, and Braukmann in La Conquête du Pôle Sud by Manfred Karge, among others. I have worked on both classical and contemporary texts. I have danced and acted in dance-theatre performances, participated in collective creation projects, and contributed to the writing process of stage authors. I have also worked on film projects. The master directors who have shaped my practice along the way include Julien Roy, Franz Marijnen, Wim Vandekeybus, Benno Besson, Patrick Descamps, Fabrice Gorgerat, Pascal Crochet, Ingrid Von Wantoch, and Joël Pommerat. I come from a training background where love of the text is paramount, and from a practice where stage imagery, physicality, and animality are fundamental prerequisites.
