Art, Body, Science

Gesture, Body, and Transmission

Do you think that actions reinforce what is said? Do they help you understand the ideas the teacher is presenting?

The body plays a major role in communication. Working in harmony with the voice, it helps us listen and visualize ideas. Becoming aware of this often-overlooked part of ourselves means reintegrating it into communication and grounding it in the floor and in space.

We invite you to experience and understand this involvement. To perceive the body’s role in conveying the message, and to breathe new life into this “teaching body” that gives meaning and power to the message’s content.

Speakers:

• Leonardo Montecchia, choreographer.
• Mathias Beyler, author, actor, sound designer, artistic director.
• Brahim Azaoui, Associate Professor of Language Pedagogy and French as a Foreign Language (FLE/S). His research and training focus in particular on the role of the body in teaching (gestures, movement, posture, distance).
