Workshop - The paths of the senses: the art of embodying, listening, and letting resonate​

 

A space to trace the invisible routes of gesture, those that take shape within before appearing in movement. The body is approached as a living territory, where each sensation becomes a landmark and each vibration, a direction. This workshop offers an exploration of the dancer’s presence through three closely interconnected planes: physical, affective, and cognitive. 

 

On the physical level, dancers move through rigorous and demanding materials,
alternating between precise composition and guided improvisation. The body becomes a site for experimenting with states, where one learns to inhabit movement
rather than to produce it. 

 

On the affective level, the work develops a refined sensitivity to oneself, to others, to space, and to music. Empathy is approached as a concrete practice the ability to enter into relationship, to feel, and to allow states to emerge and circulate without forcing or representing them. This listening opens access to zones of fragility as well as power, of softness as well as intensity.

​

On the cognitive level, attention is directed toward the inner experience in motion: the shifting of attention, the internal discourse, and the impact of thoughts on presence. The work aims to recognize these mechanisms and to anchor supportive states and thoughts, so that presence becomes a resource.

 

These explorations take shape through excerpts from works and guided improvisation sequences, combining physical rigor with sensitive listening. Moments of presentation are offered as spaces for observing the inner mechanisms activated by being seen. Les voies du sensible emphasizes the difference between demonstrating and feeling, between showing a state and living it. It invites dance to emerge from within.
