My 'Fight Clubs' are political soft spaces of care and empowerment. Through playful fighting and self-defense practices, we liberate our bodies and voices, discover our power, challenge our strength, and cultivate self-confidence and resilience.
In defiance of the intimidating and objectifying male gaze, used as a tool of women's oppression, we engage in regular eye-gazing exercises. We learn not to avert our gaze but to confront it boldly. By treating our eyes as muscles, we rehearse proudly meeting the gaze again and again, day after day, gaining confidence and diminishing fear.

Author"I graduated from both ESSEC Business School and ENSAPC Art School in France. As a choreographer, cultural entrepreneur, and community activist, I harness the transformative power of art to build spaces, experiences, and communities. My artistic practice explores new poetic, fragile, and hybrid forms, spanning multiple mediums, including text, image, object, and movement. I create full-length dance pieces, short-format performances, immersive installations, multi-sensory community experiences. Over the past two decades, I've founded the School of Disobedience, established my own performance art company (Gray Box), and launched the annual Wildflowers Festival. I embrace everything unusual, unexpected, and nonconformist. I am not kind with assholes and have learned to forge my own path. I am here to guide you in thinking outside the box and achieving independence. To me, the real party is outside the confines of the established canon." Archives
