September 16 & 17, 2022
La Manufacture CDCN, BORDEAUX
FREE ADMISSION – THE EVENT IS FULL  – REGISTRATIONS ARE CLOSED

As part of the research project Moving words in space, Books on the Move organises a symposium… two days of encounters around language & movement.
Sharing of experiences, research, practices…
Workshops, discussions, presentations, reading-naptime…  

Moving words in space is a practice focusing on an ongoing dialogue between movement and words, starting to find their own shape within the body and through space: in which way a foreign or unfamiliar language can start making sense while moving? How can it resonate within the body and initiate a dance?

This symposium brings together professionals and non-professionals, artists, scholars, teachers to share their approach, practices, experiences of langage and movement.
The symposium is open to high-school and university students, artists, teachers, scholars, dancers, and all curious beings.
Workshops are open to all, no prerequisite in language or movements is required.
Most of the collective discussions will take place in French
