This workshop offers an in-depth exploration of two fundamental functions of the human body: breathing and walking.
To return by means of a fine understanding, both intelligible and sensitive, on the "evidence" even of breathing and walking is to allow oneself to question at least three important artistic dimensions: those of movement, space and time. From the putting into play of one’s own body, it is also a question of how what intimately binds us to these two bodily functions can deepen our own ability to feel, perceive, and look… Through proposals of exploration through bodily awareness and experiments around the body in motion and gesture, we will see how aspects of breathing and walking can be put at the service of the creative process. Both in the stage of preparation for the artistic act and in that of its realization. |
We walk and then the world around us moves
To walk is to discover and open oneself to the space that surrounds us, to others, but it is also to draw by one’s own movement and that of one’s gaze, a trajectory, a line in space.
We will be interested in the movement of the march in relation to the notions of apprehension and perception of space, orientation, balance, itinerary, trajectory, displacement, continuous or interrupted line...

Surrender to your own breath, let the body do its work
To breathe is to relate to what is most vital in oneself and outside oneself. It is to tune to one’s own rhythm.
We will focus on the movement of the breath in relation to the polarities inside / outside, opening / closing, expansion / contraction and the notions of rhythm, resonance, receptivity and vitality ... Throughout the workshop, notebook, text or sketch book, as well as drawing, will be the preferred means to keep track of lived experiences, to share and exchange. |
