Current events are a constant reminder of the importance of rethinking our relationship with nature, of the need to lay the foundations for a new inter-species diplomacy, for true respect for the beings, animals and plants with whom we share planet Earth. With PIPA, the desire is to invest imaginations in the poetic appropriation of a primary force: the wind. With the intuition that the dialogue between body and material, between gesture and object, constitutes us profoundly in our anatomy, our affects, our imaginations, our being in the world. PIPA is intended to be a multi-stage workshop that brings into play the powers of perception, feeling and apprehension:

  • Firstly, there will be times dedicated to the body and to bringing the participants together using choreographic tools ;
  • A series of moments will be devoted to a scientific understanding of the phenomena that generate the earth's wind, and to a sensitive exploration of this element;
  • Then there will be a chance to discover how a kite is made by hand, using paper, wood and thread;
  • Then, time will be given over to the pleasure of playing sensitively with the forces of the wind that the kite interface allows.

This process can be continued in a second stage with the collective design of an unidentified artistic and flying object: from its invention to its manufacture and flight.

PIPA is a proposal for a workshop that can be adapted to suit the type of participant, the context and the timing of the sessions.
