[Intervenant·e·s]

The aim of these workshops is to invite participants to experiment with different approaches to movement, with or without objects, and to produce a few personal texts. One of the main aims is to improve mobility and the body’s involvement in space, but also to boost self-esteem through non-competitive personal productions, and to develop concentration and the ability to listen to others through cooperative group work. The work carried out in the workshop will give rise to a short performance of the texts and juggled choreographies at the Maison d’Arrêt.
