The project lasts 3 months, from September to December 2026, and is aimed at actors, movers, acrobats, and circus artists aged 18 and over who want to develop a clear and structured physical language through solid physical and performative training and gain the tools to approach multidisciplinary professional projects.

The intensive program includes movement disciplines and physical practices such as vocal training, physical training, action method, physical theatre, creative writing, foundational floorwork, foundational partnering, impro techniques, elements of acrobatics, choreo lab, elements of dramaturgy, structural integration, rhythm, lighting which allow physical performers to develop coordination, stamina, and movement quality, while providing practical tools to support and sustain action on stage through the body.

A performance is scheduled at the end of the path.

At the end of the program, the Artistic Direction of Twain Centro Produzione Danza will award short creative residencies to selected participants,(period will be agreed upon during the selection process) for the development of personal projects, after selection and evaluation of the project proposal.
Each residency will conclude with a public sharing and an exchange with the local community and performing arts professionals.

The program is open to performers, actors, movers, acrobats and circus artists over 18 who:

◾ want to deepen and structure their own physical language within a solid physical and performative training context
◾ want to expand their repertoire through cross-disciplinary elements and contaminations between different languages (physical theatre · movement · elements of acrobatics · etc.) to take on multidisciplinary professional projects
◾ are looking for new stimuli in the development of their own creative work
◾ want to use physicality as a central element of their artistic practice
