This workshop proposes using the body as an inclusive tool for creation within a collective practice blending gestures, images, narratives, and performative situations. No prior dance experience is required: everyone is welcome, bringing their own singularity.
Participants will approach inclusivity as an active policy: testing new ways of being together, decentering power relations, and composing with differences. The body will serve both as primary material and as a tool for experimentation, at the intersection of dance, performance, visual arts, and sound. Students will explore how to invent transient forms, how movement becomes image, and how action produces narrative.
The workshop will take the form of a shared and adaptable space, structured around exercises, improvisations, games, moments of care, discussion, and collective feedback. Participants will be invited to propose, reinterpret, test, and document.
The workshop will also engage in dialogue with illustration practices: working with the body is a way of questioning embodied narrative, moving image, and trace. A performance can become an image, a text, a printed device, or an object.
In short, the goal is to experiment with performance as a living, collective, and joyful practice where artistic and political concerns meet.
The evaluation is based on participation in the five days of the workshop and on the degree of active engagement of the student.
