a collection of educational and artistic DVDs on somatic approaches in dance and movement training. The first DVD includes an overview of somatic education and interviews with founders, teachers and artists of six different techniques. The second DVD presents applications of movement analysis in ballet training. The third DVD presents a choreographer and a biologist working together in choreographed conferences, illustrating how art and science can meet in the poetry of gesture. The fourth DVD addresses the diversity of supports in the teaching of Peter Goss, with bonuses on the thymus and on the 8th thoracic vertebra. The 5th dvd presents interviews with performing artists deeply experienced in an ancestral approach to movement (a martial art or yoga) and how the practice influences their creative expression.

These DVDs, in English and French, with subtitles, are coordinated by ‘Recherche En Mouvement’, a French not-for-profit organisation directed by Odile Rouquet.

an experimental dance project whose French choreographer has been involved for years in research in gesture in weightlessness. Kitsou Dubois, who has worked with the French and European space programs, has also received grants to visit NASA in Houston, to take a parabolic flight at the City of Stars in Russia, and to a 2-year residency in England on dance and new technologies. Her research is oriented around the sensitivity to interior sensations necessary to control movement in zero gravity. She leads unique training programs under water in swimming pools; the videos of these experiments are incorporated in her public artistic presentations. photo credits above and right: B.

an original, live, summer musical theater piece, with music composed by Ghislain Hervet for 16th century French poems. The audience was convoked at midnight, and led through three different outdoor sites for the beginning, middle and conclusion of an event interpreted by a French-American cast in the south of France.
