Matthieu Gaudeau

Actor -Dancer-Teacher of the Alexander Technique.

He has worked as a performer since the end of the 90s within live performance companies and collectives. Between 2004 and 2006, he co-directed the collective “La Gouttière” within which he developed performative theater-dance work.

From 2009, he followed training for Alexander Technique teachers and is passionate about teaching, human gesture, approaches to embodied cognition (notably the enactive approach) and attentional dynamics. He participates in the ICI and ICrEA project (dance and neuroscience project, CNRS). These action research projects, developed in a community of practice (neuro-scientists, psychologists, anthropologists, philosophers, educators, improvising artists) took improvisation as an epistemological framework – a research tool and not an object of study – to constitute an observatory ecological of interactional dynamics, through which affordances (GG Gibson), attention and affects become entangled; founding member he plays a central role in the development of experimental protocols around attention and joint attention.

Between 2014-2018, he organized with Asaf Bachrach and Emma Bigé, a series of workshops on the question of landscape, mixing philosophical approaches and maps of attention, based on the maps of F.Deligny and the micro-interview. phenomenological.

He was co-organizer of the International Contact Improvisation Meetings in Paris. He teaches CI regularly in France and abroad.

Matthieu is a certified Alexander Technique (ATI) teacher. His approach is nourished by the work of Hubert Godard and David Gorman. He is passionate about the organization of human movement, the relationships between posture, attention and perception. He has worked with people suffering from Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. His approach is at the crossroads of Contact Improvisation, martial arts in their internal dimension and the Alexander Technique.

Celine Robineau

"Taking sideways paths, I dance and teach with joy, fervor and bounce. I work to seek new paths in the body, meet dance partners, some non-human, to form hybrid bodies, approach the dance movement as a political space.

I train and engage in improvisation, at the Life Art Process in the United States where I assist Anna Halprin, I fall into contact improvisation which reveals to me a field of dialogue, a sensitivity of touch and tactile cooperation never before still explored. I co-founded L'Oeil et la Main and organized workshops, festivals and other initiatives where words and bodies meet and inform each other. My dance still evolves through contact with singing and then with perceptual pedagogy (Danis Bois) in which perceptions are refined, but also links between perception and cognition in relationships of transformation.

I like to learn from the sea, the trees, the horizon and the wind at home about sensitive, poetic and moving body states. I teach in the heart of landscapes, in the studio, school environment or in water, creating forms that meet territorial issues and current reflections (gentrification, gesture of love in public space), which question borders and relationships with the world (the Water you drink has known the sea, the Paper Woman, Anima…)."

And passionate about CI since 2015…
