DANIEL's Info
My practice pushes the boundaries between improvisation and physical theatre, bringing elements of clowning, mime, comics and painting as tools for expression and storytelling. I have been designing workshops and directing shows for different groups and festivals around the world.Additionally I have run design workshops for schools with young children and teenagers from different countries and backgrounds. As a performer, I have toured the world with Speechless an improvised show without words. I am constantly creating collaboration projects with various groups and individuals looking for new, original ways of performing.
I founded and currently run a company called PICNIC, specialised in creating devised work, collaborating with different artists who bring inspiration from specialist areas.

"A workshop with Orrantia in Padova? Why not! But I didn’t know Daniel and his work so I asked who had known him and I only received very positive comments. Then I met him and I understood why. A way to teach light and impactful, an unusual and challenging subject. A positive and curious person, a generous and qualified teacher. In the eyes of students I saw shine the joy of being there." - Claudia Gafà – CambiScena’s founder and director (Padova – Italy)
"Daniel is a modest generous teacher who has brought me back in touch with my joy as an improviser and expanded my imagination as an actor. If you’ve been improvising for a long time he is highly recommended” " - Anna Preminger - Improv Theater Israel - Founder and director
