technique and body placement    (sorry not yet)
I built my class from the experience I gained from my teachers in modern dance (Peter Goss, Hans Züllig, Jean Cebron), classical dance, Kinomichi (M.Masamichi NORO ) and Tai chi.
Associating the idea of lengthening to the idea of spiral, in the context of a connection "earth to sky", is the basic principle of kinomichi. This is central to my teaching in the work of body and in my technical classes for dancers, and workshops for actors and singers.“

about the workshop "composition and improvisation"    (sorry not yet)
After a " mise en corps " composed by myself from exercices inspired of the warming up and preparation work issued from various body work techniques (dance, Tai chi, Kinomichi, Feldenkrais ), the class is followed by the workshop part.
The workshop part is based on the study of  movement analysis first from an abstract point of view. Five basics elements support  this movement analysis
 Those five elements are:

- The Form (a material structure, solid and filling up a certain volume into the space).
- Space (the scenic space into whitch the dancer or the actor will evolve, from this point starts the notion of motion into space).
- Motion (considered as the bridge between a form and another with the differents qualities of energy which characterize it).
- Timing (rhythm and the choice of intervention which can be fixed by the choreographer or be opened to the interpreter in improvisation).
- The rest and essential thing (or “the little flower” from Zeami)...

about the workshop "movement, music and improvisation"    (sorry not yet)
this workshop is proposed in collaboration with the musician Tetsu Saitoh, it is proposed for dancers/actors but also for musicians and is based on two parts; one proposed by J.L. Sasportes which has the same structure as the workshop "composition and improvisation" (see below), and the other part, directed by Tetsu Saitoh which is basicaly about musical expression and improvisation
