A successful workshop is not necessarily one where we laughed a lot, where the atmosphere was nice, where human relations were easy and where we had a good time. For me, a successful workshop is a useful workshop, a space where we learned, unlearned and relearned things, no matter what. There's no hierarchy between theoretical, practical, technical or methodological workshops, just as there's no hierarchy between lexical knowledge or personal experience. They're just different entry points, without one being more valuable than the other. The question is not what you learn at a workshop, but how, and the role of a teacher (Unlearning Facilitator) is not to transmit something, but to invent a framework, to choreograph a context, that encourages individual initiative, responsibility and independence. A useful workshop is one where we make progress in relation to ourselves, without being compared or judged. Where we're encouraged and respected, where we can move forward and grow, developing at our own pace. You have to be open to realize that sometimes the teaching will come from elsewhere, sometimes the lesson won't be where you expect it to be.
Qu'est-ce qu'un workshop réussi ? Un workshop réussi n’est pas forcément un workshop où on a beaucoup ri, où l’ambiance était sympa, où les rapports humaines étaient faciles et où on a passé un bon moment. Un workshop réussi est pour moi un workshop utile, un espace où on a appris, désappris et réappris des choses, peu importe quoi. Il n’y a pas d’hiérarchie entre workshop théorique, pratique, technique ou méthodologique au même titre qu’il n’y a pas d’hiérarchie entre connaissance, savoir lexique ou expérience personnelle. Ce sont juste des portes d’entrées différents, sans que l'un ait plus de valeur que l’autre. La question n’est pas ce qu’on apprend à un workshop, mais comment, et le rôle d’une professeur n’est pas de transmettre des savoirs, mais d’inventer un cadre, chorégraphier un contexte, qui favorise la prise d’initiative, la prise de responsabilité, l’indépendance. Un workshop utile est un workshop où l'on progresse par rapport à soi-même, sans être comparées, sans être jugées. Où l'on est encouragées et respectées, où l'on peut avancer et grandir, en évoluant à son propre rythme. Il faut être ouverte pour se rendre compte que parfois l'enseignement viendra d'ailleurs, parfois la leçon ne sera pas là où on l'attend.

Author"Born in Budapest (Hungary) in 1983, I graduated from the ENSAPC Art School (France) in 2016. As an artist, researcher, and community activist, I harness the power of art for connection, education, and activism. My practice spans various mediums, including image, object, and performance. I create full-length visual and dance performances, short-format pieces, and immersive experiences, while also creating spaces for non-formal education outside of traditional academic heritage. 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
