A new immersive artistic experience for movement artists interested in creating within, and in response to the natural environment of the beautiful French countryside in the shadow of the Pyrenees.
Where: Cizos, Hautes-Pyrénées, France
When: June 10th – 15th 2025

A welcoming and inclusive space for creative exploration.
A stunning natural landscape to inspire your movement practice.

A flexible programme with suggested tasks, facilitated discussions, and guided movement explorations.
Ample time for personal reflection and independent artistic practice.
What We Expect
Participants will contribute to maintaining the space by sharing cooking and cleaning duties.
