kinemo [= kin(esthesia) + emo(tion)] neologism; derived from the abbreviation of words kinesthetic and emotional. But why kinesthetic and emotional? The mix of these two elements (kinesthesia and emotion) plays a structural role in theatrical quests of kinemo and they both are an eternal desideratum of theatrical research. The book Kinemo is the result of long-term and continuous “on site” research. We place “on site” in quotes because when it comes to theatrical research, “site” could be everything and everywhere. Our conscious choices to spread our research, alongside some conjuncture, resulted in carrying out dozens of trips and tours throughout the world from 2010-2020. As a result, we got in touch with many theatre people who have different points of view from ours, who work in different ways and originate from a rather unfamiliar cultural environment and from other traditional backgrounds. We met inspiring teachers, as well as amateur workers of theatrical art. We owe a lot to all these meetings. They have revealed to us, inadvertently or deliberately, the secrets of our art and work. Above all, we owe the greatest part of our gratitude to the audience that has followed and somehow co-formed our work with its reactions, expressions of pleasure or indulgence, and its love, interest and excitement.
