From Monday May 12 to Friday May 16, at the Port des Créateurs, Toulon. Public opening on May 16 at 7pm, free admission.

Through dance, combining gesture and speech, this project aims to transmit tools for personal, human and social development. It emphasizes orality and movement, promoting awareness of the body and language, both the language of a shared community and the expression of singularity. Tame bodies in movement, name them to rediscover unity, name the space to feel at the heart of it, sheltered, at home, in the other's home.

With gentleness and precision, the aim is to open up, perceive and implement both physical and energetic places. The challenge is to find the right supports to unite a homogeneous group, while respecting the place of each individual. An astonishing journey of joy and beauty will emerge from the tools of dance, rhythm and words. Combined, repetition, regularity and duration become the keystone of oral transmission. The discovery and revelation of oneself to others and to the world comes through experience. The content developed focuses on directions, time reference points, action verbs and awareness of the body in movement via proprioceptive anatomy. Little by little, we observe the relationship between gestural invention and the refinement of the participants' language. Gradually, we see a comfort with body language and expression between all members of the group. Little by little, this so-called "remote" audience will begin to frequent the region's cultural facilities, and in particular to benefit from existing mediation mechanisms. Removing linguistic insecurity will encourage workshop participants to sign up for a medium-term learning process, and to give concrete expression to this change by obtaining a French language diploma.
