This day will bring together arts education and mediation professionals from different regions and countries, as part of Camping 2026, to discuss the theme of consent: How do professionals develop dance practices that include touch and interaction with others while being mindful of each person's boundaries and collective frameworks? How do artists and mediators address the notion of consent with children and adolescents? How does this attention transform arts and cultural education initiatives and projects? To broaden our reflection and discussion, this day of studies and discussions will feature accounts of experiences, practices, conferences, and roundtables.

Speakers
Pascale Gille
Trained at the Grenoble Conservatory and later at the European Dance Development Center in the Netherlands, Pascale Gille explores New Dance and is part of the post-modern dance movement. She has collaborated with Lisa Nelson, Anna Halprin, Nancy Stark Smith, and Simone Forti, developing a choreographic style where scenography, sensory experience, touch, and consent converge. Her creations tour across Europe and museum spaces, guided by the perception and collective composition of the Tuning Score. Committed to artistic and ecological outreach, she shares her research with audiences of all ages, including children and teenagers.
Agnes Benoit
A dancer, educator, and co-founder of the Books on the Move association, Agnès Benoit has long divided her time between France, England, the United States, and Germany. Sharing and reflecting on the body in motion have always been her anchor and her playground. A graduate of Bennington College in the United States, she has developed a multidisciplinary and experimental approach centered on language learning through movement: “Moving words in space.” Since 2015, she has been developing the Jump’n Turn workshop, an introduction to English through movement for school-age children, which she offers as part of extracurricular activities.
Valérie Grand
Valérie Grand is the HR Manager and Equality & Diversity Coordinator at La Manufacture – Haute école des arts de la scène. As a certified HR Specialist, she supports teams on issues related to human resources, occupational health, and prevention. Her experience has led her to address challenges related to reorganization, institutional culture, and working conditions. Attentive to relational dynamics and respect for individuals, she works to promote safe and inclusive professional environments.
Madonna Lenaert
Madonna Lenaert is the coordinator of the Bachelor’s program in Drama at KASK University College in Ghent, Belgium. In addition, she pursues her own artistic practice as a performing artist, as well as a body of work focused on queer theory, feminism, and intersectionality. She is also a member of the feminist collective “Magdalena Collectif,” co-hosts the queer podcast “Flikker Op,” and is the author of “Other Woman Theory.”
Anh Ngoc Nguyen
Anh Ngoc Nguyen is an artist and educator of Vietnamese and British descent. He is currently a lecturer in choreography at HKAPA, where he teaches contemporary ballet technique, improvisation, and repertoire. He has performed with major companies, including the Vietnam Opera House, the Persian Ballets (Sweden), Wayne McGregor/Random Dance (UK), and the Phoenix Dance Theatre (UK). He served as resident choreographer for the Union Dance Company (UK) in 2007 and as rehearsal director for the Henry Oguike Dance Company (UK) in 2011.
Clarisse Pinet
Clarisse Pinet is a professor of contemporary dance, coordinator of the dance department, and program director for adapted dance programs at the Conservatoire de Bordeaux. She has trained in adapted and inclusive dance, dance for Parkinson’s disease, and in supporting and listening to people with neurodevelopmental or mental health disorders. Additionally, she performs with Clafoutis, a company specializing in shows for young audiences.
Vivianne Rodrigues de Brito
After graduating from the S.N.D.O. in 1991, Vivianne Rodrigues worked extensively for some fifteen years with various dance companies in the Netherlands and abroad. She is a certified Feldenkrais practitioner and life coach. Over the past 20 years, she has taught Floor Work, contact improvisation, movement awareness, and coaching in the dance department at the Hogeschool voor de Kunsten in Amsterdam. Through these techniques, she explores self-awareness, risk-taking, sensory stimulation, and the celebration of the body.
Lise Saladain
Lise Saladain is a researcher in the humanities and social sciences and a professional in the choreographic field. Her research explores the dynamics between dancers and choreographers, particularly through the concept of bodily availability in dance. Her research focuses on: the body and its representations, dance, epistemology, knowledge, transmission, practices, cultural policy, and art mediation. She is also deputy director of the CDCN La Manufacture in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, where she contributes to the promotion of contemporary dance through artistic, cultural, and educational projects.
Michel Schweizer
After attending the Conservatoire d’Art Dramatique de Bordeaux and studying at the École des Beaux-Arts de Bordeaux, Michel Schweizer has gained extensive experience in the fields of visual arts and contemporary dance. In his various creations, Michel Schweizer creates a natural intersection between the stage, the visual arts, and a certain concept of “the enterprise.” His practice involves shifting perspectives and reintroducing societal or human reality onto the stage. He is driven by a consistent impulse: to engage with the world and bring together temporary, ephemeral communities.
La Tierce
La Tierce is a collective founded in 2013 in Bordeaux by three dancers and choreographers: Sonia Garcia, Séverine Lefèvre, and Charles Pietri. Together, they create stage productions, performances, and sensitive research contexts for diverse audiences. Driven by a vision of dance that extends beyond the purely choreographic realm, they situate it at the intersection of multiple fields, primarily poetry, the visual arts, listening, and landscape. Together, Sonia, Séverine, and Charles champion poetry as a space for experience of major significance. Believing that exchange and transmission with all types of audiences are essential, the choreographers lead numerous educational projects.
