Being a contortionist does not mean being flexible. It is an accessible body technique that can be learned, worked on and developed over time. There is no secret. Contortion is a hyper-consciousness of the body's inner sensations and an intimate dialogue with its limits - its allies. In a constant dialogue with one's own body, contortion seeks to open rather than bend it. Without ever pushing back its limits, we will learn how to collaborate with them, in a total respect of the body.

In order to demystify the movement and amplitude of the spine, this workshop is for all body artists who wish to improve their flexibility; discover a new body technique; have new tools to integrate their flexibility into their practice; develop confidence and knowledge that will allow them to venture into a particular and specific work of the spine; start a new journey into the inner sensation of their body and open themselves to a new approach to it.

These classes will be based on specific active flexibiity and stretching exercises. We will listen to and serve the body in order to address posture and endurance and explore the possibilities of its amplitude.
