"The Acting Body" is part of an ongoing research project rooted in character creation through the body, using movement and theatrical tools to develop a storytelling physicality. The investigation began with The Villager in November 2018, which served as the initiation of the entire process. From the beginning, the focus has been on how the body can become a multilayered instrument—capable of holding various physical qualities, emotional textures, and internal contradictions. Through isolation work and theatrical layering, new fictional characters began to emerge and evolve over time.

This ongoing process gave rise to two short performance works: The Visitor and The Village. Both pieces reflect different stages in the development of these characters and the growing complexity of the embodied storytelling language. The Village, in particular, marks a turning point in the research and serves as the basis for a planned full-length dance theatre piece, where individual narratives intertwine within a shared world shaped by group dynamics, memory, and transformation.
