Back to the Body

A three-day explorative Lab dedicated to deconditioning, unfolding, and freeing the mind and body to feel your grounded presence. Open to performers and non-performers alike, this workshop creates space to slow down, build awareness, and listen to the impulses shaping how we move and connect. Through guided embodiment practices and grounding exercises, participants loosen habitual patterns to uncover a more spontaneous, authentic presence—whether you're an actor deepening your craft or simply curious about reconnecting with your body and instincts.

Creative Residency | Paris

This six-day residency explores scenes from an early 20th-century Russian play that traces the arc of a human life as a poetic allegory. Using physical theatre tools, participants investigate presence, impulse, energy, and the body as an active force in storytelling. Through movement exercises, improvisation, and scene work, actors engage the text as a living landscape, uncovering meaning through the body and imagination. Rooted in the Physical Lab methodology, the residency emphasizes embodiment as a pathway to truthful, instinctive performance. The process unfolds as a collaborative laboratory where performers explore, experiment, and create together.
