When: 23 – 28 February 2026

This festival was born from an initiative between a brother and a sister that, after many years of organizing the Festival En Provence in summer, spring and autumn, wanted to create a winter version but close to the Mediterranian Sea.

The focus is the same: Dance, Reaseach and Sharing.

At each edition, people of many different nationalities have gathered for the Festival, which is very enriching and allows the establishment of a cultural bridge around art, dance and creativity.

OUR DANCE VENUE – a magnificent 17th-century church, itself built over an earlier 14th-century temple. The floor will be adapted for our dance practice, covered with a cushioned linoleum layer over the entire 70 m² surface.

Structure of the intensives

*Laura Doehler Contact Improvisation Intensive => Depth of YieldingWhat do we need to let go of to fall? What do we need to enter to leave? How do you track the shifting ground? With this intensive we will break down and into the components of falling. This Intensive is suitable for those who want to deepen an existing practice and want to explore how falls – from the original conception of CI to now – speak of co-dependence, independence, risk and the freedom to surrender into motion.

*Victòria Janer Barber – Contemporary Soft Acrobatics Dance IntensiveORGANIC MOVEMENT – PRIMARY ECHOESThis workshop is a body practice that begins from the floor, focusing on releasing accumulated tension, reclaiming lost space, and lengthening the body, thereby facilitating the learning of new movement patterns. Moving efficiently becomes a fundamental factor, reconnecting us with the organicity of the infant body and the most primal aspects of our being.

In addition to the workshops, participants will enjoy:

– Daily jams.

– An Underscore session.

– A performance / improvisation score.
