Workshop 2 - Dance

In this workshop for teenagers, the Swiss company (La) Rue Serendip will work on how we accept the weight of another body, how we add our weight to another body, how we carry someone or, simply, how we guide someone so that they can move through space. Participants will experience different ways of relating to one or more people as they dance. The most important thing is that they gain confidence in themselves and in others so that they can relate to them as their body moves.

An all-round sportsman, Tristan Bénon has been passionate about movement since he was a child. After taking a master’s degree in Adapted Physical Activities and Health at the University of Lausanne, he worked for several years as a sports and social educator, primarily with people with disabilities and young people from difficult backgrounds. In the autumn of 2015, he joined the professional programme of the SEAD (Salzburg Experimental Dance Academy). He now divides his time between his career as a dancer-performer and his many commitments as an educator. He tends to use dance as a tool for integration, inclusion and personal development in different scenarios.
