A Fluid Ground for Contemporary Creation
ANFIBIA is a space of transformation, a living environment where artistic training becomes a radical practice, a daily act of research, and a political gesture. A transdisciplinary program that breaks down boundaries between dance, physical theatre, voice, music, circus arts, dramaturgy, and theoretical practices—giving life to autonomous, complex performers capable of generating hybrid works deeply rooted in their time.
Born from the desire to shape artists who can act with awareness on the contemporary stage, ANFIBIA is an active learning ecosystem: here, the body becomes a laboratory, the group a creative community, the stage a field for experimentation and vision. The program does not merely provide skills, but tools to inhabit uncertainty, expand languages, and traverse the present with a critical eye and a responsive body.
An Immersive and Transformative Experience
ANFIBIA unfolds through an intensive and dynamic calendar: daily physical practice, immersive modules, theoretical laboratories, practical explorations, and performative sharings intertwine in a dramaturgical flow that evolves alongside the participants. The training moves fluidly between technical work and poetic research, between discipline and intuition, between structure and creative impulse.
Each day is conceived as a time of opening—towards listening, risk, and transformation. Disciplines are not taught in parallel but constantly contaminate each other, generating new, unclassifiable, and fluid forms. The performer is not trained to replicate, but to build: visions, devices, questions.
Creation as a Necessary Act
The beating heart of the program is original creation. Each participant is guided, supported, and provoked to develop a personal or collective performative project—from the initial spark to public sharing. This organic, unstable, generative process becomes a tool for defining one’s own scenic voice, language, and urgency.
ANFIBIA believes in a form of training that shapes not only the gesture but the vision: that rare capacity to sense what does not yet exist, to create works that question the present—works that are fragile, powerful, contradictory.
A Place, a Community, a Horizon
Hosted in the city of Bologna—a vibrant hub of cultures, movements, and creative networks—ANFIBIA is also a relational space: a meeting ground for artists, mentors, teachers, and guests who share tools, doubts, methods, and perspectives. It’s not just about learning—it’s about building conscious artistic communities, capable of acting together in the world and in time.
