Ki omOs Kineitai LABoratorio: from training to creation

The LABoratorio constitutes a specific component of the Ki omOs Kineitai educational project.

Designed as a program combining training and creation , it is aimed primarily at graduates of dance or theatre schools as well as artists already possessing solid technical mastery in a contemporary circus discipline.

The program is based on regular participation in courses and seminars, with the aim of developing the skills of the selected artists and supporting them in a collective creative process.

The work may culminate in the production of an end-of-year show , directed by members of the company and guest choreographers or directors.

This approach seeks to establish a direct link between technical learning , artistic research and stage experience .

A unique artistic identity

Since its creation, Ki omOs Kineitai has been developing shows that blend dance , acrobatics , physical theatre , music and performance .

Her work is based on the use of the body as the main means of expression and on the exploration of the possibilities offered by the stage space .
