We live in between the need to always be with oneself and the need to always be in the world. "I am going to (re)know you and then I am going to (re)know myself." In this space between oneself and the world, a space to play opens up, at the origin of expression: a threshold of metamorphoses to orient oneself through an artistic practice.

An exploration of the sensitive acting, emerging and immersing oneself in the reciprocity of intrinsic links between one's own history and the world, in order to develop through art, the process of transformation, the play of metamorphoses. This setting in motion invites introspection - both autonomous and relational - to listen to a space that calls and recalls, consciously experiencing the present materialities that link memory and aspiration. By making oneself present to the experience - real in its lived moments and imaginary in its manifestations - a change of substance emanates, a singular corporeality brought into play by the invisible layers of thoughts, emotions, dreams and desires, and the visible articulation of forms. This process, spontaneous in its action yet refined through the deepening of its possibilities, will lead to qualities of presence that gradually develop in a gaze that is both vigilant and enveloping. 

Life in art is a constant back-and-forth between sensitive experience and reflection, aimed at creating connections with the diversity of the world: a practice open to professionals and anyone wishing to engage with the world through art.

The artist develops and expresses a poetic experience - an experience that comes rooted in their perceptions and one that arises from sensitive play. They inhabit a generative movement of open curiosity, transitioning from awareness of impressions and sensations to the embodiment and refinement of the emerging qualities of action. 

Embodying and giving back. A movement that receives and transmits, suggesting an immersive and ephemeral poetic quality, intimately tied to the vital need to cultivate one's sense of wonder and deepen one's relationship with the world. Then the opus reflects both content and form, creating unfolding meaning in the flow of transformations.

The resonance fosters a sense of belonging and recognition. By becoming permeable to the play of metamorphoses, a kind of transparency emerges - of one's being within the multiple, or of the multiple within oneself. An invitation that explores the phenomenon of beauty, the feeling of infinity within the moments.  

 

Practical Elements

The work is offered in private sessions or in groups.
It leads to a deeper one's creative resources, one's poetic gaze.

 

F​rom silence to expression

 

Availability

Listening to impressions, perceiving sensations.

Presence, a memory and a passage.

The circulation of attention - we think one thing at a time.

Alternating focus between inner understanding and exposure to the world.

The vigilant state of imagination where the focus is on the self with tangible emotional sensitivity.

The vigilant state in which conscious control is reduced, allowing the action-reaction movement flow.

The voice

Linking body, sound and song.

To develop its vibratory qualities, discovering its range, landscapes and resonance. 

The body

Memory, support and receptacle.

Rhythm, fluidity between movement and repose.

Exploration

Permeability between being and form, presence and appearance, observation and interpretation. . 

The qualities from dense to subtle: concentrations, amplifications, nuances and resonances. 

The persona - the mask, amplifies the voice, ‘per sonare’. The forms are containers where the content becomes alive. 

The two roots of form: an habitat, a definition and a movement, a flow of images. 

 

When I act, I define myself in a doing; thus I am the action. By being the action, I live it and, therefore I receive it.

An action emerges in the space between opposites:

∙ A choice made among infinite possibilities.

∙ Active in the action and passive in the reaction.

∙ Made in the present, supported by memory and anticipation.

∙ Articulated in its form and improvised in its flow.

∙ Spontaneous and repeated.

∙ A personal act serving the impersonal world. 

∙ Allowing us to discover and to be discovered.

∙ That disappears and leave a trace.
