Team

De Kleine Academie was founded in 1986 by Luc De Smet (a student of Jacques Lecoq); he is the artistic director of the school and teaches courses in movement analysis and acting. Most of the teachers are graduates of De Kleine Academie, as well as of another artistic or academic training institutions. They share the same philosophy, enriched with the individuality of their personalities. Their training and their artistic experience enables them to maintain the appropriate distance when coaching the students and not to be hindered by their own taste or prejudices.
