Actango
Ziolko started developing Actango, a stage-partner training, in 2003 while she was training actors at the Scuola Teatro Dimitri in Switzerland.

Actango is a tool for exploring and creating dialogues on stage. Both at physical, musical and philosophical levels. Actango provides knowledge and awareness about deep presence, in contact with fellow players, the moment, the room and the audience. Actango is inspired by tango but is flexible around the roles of man or woman in order to explore its roles. This to create contact, energy and generate a continuous movement between two opposites. An important part of the work is also to raise awareness around the themes and topics in question and let the dialogue be driven by a continuous and playful discussion around them.
