Vital Acts - Performance Art Workshop
Advertisement

In this workshop, we will explore the subtle connection between performative presence, our capacity for expression, and the innate sense of aliveness within the body. In response to today’s demanding and ever-changing environment, the workshop invites participants to access their inner resources of vitality, creativity, resilience, and potential for transformation.
Working through ritual and performance-based methodologies engaging with implicit memory as a source for artistic creation, the workshop guides participants toward a deeper expression of both individual and collective selves. Together, we will examine how performance art can deepen our state of presence, vitality, and overall well-being. We will explore ways to express and release limiting patterns trapped within our bodies, while envisioning and embodying the future we aspire to create through performance exercises, group work and presentations.
Combining relaxation and breathing techniques, butoh-inspired visualization practices, and somatic exercises that activate body memory and imagery, the workshop offers a space for anyone interested in performance art to reconnect with inner sources of vital force and expression.
No previous experience is necessary, only curiosity and openness.

Dans cet atelier, nous explorerons le lien subtil entre la présence performative, notre capacité d'expression et le sentiment inné de vitalité corporelle. Face à un environnement actuel exigeant et en constante évolution, cet atelier invite les participants à puiser dans leurs ressources intérieures de vitalité, de créativité, de résilience et de transformation.
À travers des méthodologies rituelles et performatives explorant la mémoire implicite comme source de création artistique, l'atelier guide les participants vers une expression plus profonde de leur être, tant individuel que collectif. Ensemble, nous examinerons comment l'art de la performance peut approfondir notre conscience de la présence, de la vitalité et du bien-être général. Nous explorerons des moyens d'exprimer et de libérer les schémas limitants emprisonnés dans notre corps, tout en imaginant et en incarnant le futur auquel nous aspirons à participer, à travers des exercices performatifs, des travaux de groupe et des présentations.
Combinant techniques de relaxation et de respiration, pratiques de visualisation inspirées du butô et exercices somatiques activant la mémoire et l'imagerie corporelles, cet atelier offre à toute personne intéressée par l'art de la performance un espace pour se reconnecter à ses sources intérieures de vitalité et d'expression.
Aucune expérience préalable n'est requise : seules la curiosité et l'ouverture d'esprit sont nécessaires. Capacité : 15 participants (inscription préalable par courriel : [email protected])
