What will she bring to Altrefrontiere?

The days are divided into two moments: a technical part that draws on both the work of Hans Zullig and the work of Jean Cebron and a time dedicated to the laboratory.
The experimental research will be stimulated through themes and questions that will lead to an inner survey, a sensitization on multiple levels and in relation to the environment or what surrounds us, developing the awareness of our own body, the spirit of observation, the compositional-creative spirit.
