Educational content

Through regular classes or masterclasses, the educational programmes on offer at Le Pacifique help the participants to learn and understand the everyday tools for work and research projects ; tools which meet a specific demand for continuous tuition. The main objective is to provide the dance-performer with a better understanding of the different processes and physical paths the body uses to put movement into time and space. By regularly inviting teachers who are well-known on a national and international scale for the quality of their tuition, several somatic approaches to learning about movement are proposed (Analyse du corps dans le mouvement dansé, Contact-Improvisation, Release technique…)
This activity is backed by the Ministry of Culture and Communication and the ADAMI.
