-Women’s Touch (3-4 times per year)

Embodiment – Community – Safe Space Develop self-enquiry and autonomy- Be in touch – Share impressions + experiences + food What is Women’s Touch?

Women’s Touch is a workshop-lab curated by Marie Chabert. She invites dance artists, movement practitioners and critical theorists to share their practices and co-facilitate a day of collective exploration.

The lab invites women, non-binary and gender non-conforming (GNC) people to engage with touch-based movement practices—including Contact Improvisation, somatics and improvisation—in a supportive and reflective context. It aims to empower participants to claim agency within these practices and challenge the patriarchal norms that often shape our experience of touch, bodies and interaction. Alongside embodied exploration, there is room for collective reflection and conversation.

‘Marie your class was very special. Your soft and calm voice, holding safe space and connecting with us with our hands was relaxing and recharging. Your choice of music and the connection with our hands shows all of us that we are not alone, that we are all connected. Thank you for this beautiful experience.’- Anna

‘Marie is a cheerful friendly teacher whose sessions are always a very interesting combination of flow yoga with influences from her contact improvisation and dance background. She is so welcoming and makes you feel at home from the very first lesson. She’s always open to suggestions and adapts the exercises and poses to the mood and possibilities of the students. Namaste, Marie!’ – Belen
