Tools have been developed to encourage the discovery and practice of dance, to explore its nature, and to connect it to the history of the arts and societies through a variety of approaches. Games, websites, books, apps, resource kits… This training program allows participants to discover the diversity and variety of dance outreach tools and to experiment with their content, uses, and methods of engagement. Throughout the training, participants will try their hand at creating dance outreach practices and programs using these tools and, in a second phase, will be guided to develop their own tools tailored to unique projects.

(a performative inquiry, 2023), and Comment s’enlivrer pour s’endanser (a research project co-developed at Boom’Structur CDCN since 2024 and set to resume in Villeurbanne in 2027). She is also committed to sharing knowledge and sensory experiences with students and diverse audiences.
