The Laboratory is a path for higher education and research in the performing arts, created by Instabili Vaganti and open to performers from all over the world. The project is conceived by Anna Dora Dorno, director, pedagogue and actress and Nicola Pianzola, training director and actor of Instabili Vaganti. The aim is to create a permanent laboratory, source of new ideas and research that could support Instabili Vaganti Theatre Company in their projects.

The practical work involves a daily physical and vocal training based on the rhythm, the space, on the searching for a voice in accordance with the organic body and on the study of different qualities of an acting body and its energy spectrum. The training is followed by an artistic creation process consisting of research on dramaturgy, composition and montage of physical and vocal actions, in which the performer has the possibility to be in dialogue with other artistic media: live video, photos, installations, music. The starting point of this creative process is the sharing of materials and proposals that come from every participant of the laboratory and their consecutive development through individual and collective work.

The Laboratory takes place at LIV Performing Arts Centre in Bologna, Italy.
