«The body is the instrument of the actor and the dancer» This is perhaps the first sentence that is normally said to an acting student when he/she begins his training. Therefore, if it is true that the stage artist must have a well trained body for physical effort, it is also and above all true the fact that physical training must develop hand in hand with the ability to feel how a movement can really become action. In this workshop we will study the laws that lead the actor to develop a true relationship with his own body; we will explore empty space as a container and a metaphor of the essential body; we will question us on the relationship between physical effort and creation, in order to clarify the real and practical use of what is called “the actor’s physical work”.
Physical exercises and scenic improvisations will be aimed at overcoming the limits of ordinary personal expression and seeking ever deeper that essential strength that lives obscured by the physical, mental and cultural postures that shape our personality.

Teatro Simurgh
https://www.teatrosimurgh.com/
Teatro Simurgh is a theatre company founded in February 2005 in Quito, Ecuador, by Fiore Zulli and Carla Robertson, as the next step of a project of theatre research and creation that Fiore Zulli (Italian artist) began in 1995 in Bolivia, just after his arrival in South America.
As part of this research, the company has regularly conducted its performances and workshops in schools and universities, state and private, in orphanages run by secular or religious institutions, and in indigenous communities villages of the most isolated South American ethnic groups where the theatre is normally not considered and often completely unknown, where communication with the public is entrusted almost exclusively to the language of the scenic body.
Teatro Simurgh has collaborated with sociologists, naturalists, psychologists and educators of different nations.
These experiences have always been the background that brought a living energy to the plays that the company took eventually to international festivals and official theatres in the capitals of America and Europe.
