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.

WHERE SCENES COME FROM

"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
