The Studio

Tapis Volant est un studio de mouvement lumineux et chaleureux situé à Pantin, aux portes de Paris. Conçu comme un espace calme et inspirant, il est dédié aux pratiques somatiques telles que la danse, le yoga et l’exploration du corps. Le lieu dispose d’une grande salle de pratique équipée, favorisant l’apprentissage, la créativité et la recherche corporelle. Pensé comme un espace « suspendu » au-dessus de la ville, il invite chacun à explorer le mouvement, affiner sa conscience corporelle et développer sa créativité.

What to Prepare

For our short courses, participants are asked to prepare and learn a single piece of text. This helps you fully engage with our Lab methodology and explore how text can be embodied and emotionally expressed. You’re welcome to work solo or with a partner, in any language you’re most comfortable with.

If you’re unsure of what to choose, please feel free to browse our library of suggested text. For full details and guidance, please visit: Preparing for a Lab.
