Accompanied live by a musician, this workshop is addressed to anyone who is involved in corporeal practices and/or the production of artistic actions. The objective will be to discover, to perceive and to put into practice a space which is as physical as it is energetic, and to find the right basis on which to federate a homogenous group, respecting each person’s place, using the tools of dance, rhythm and the voice.
