art form
- "School of Disobedience" is an experimental, anti-canonical and radical Performance Art School and Fight Club, only for women.
- Based on critical pedagogy, empowerment methods and guerilla tactics, the school helps participants achieve political consciousness through the regular practice of creating, fighting, protesting, resisting and revolting.
- Mixing creation, research, education and activism, "School of Disobedience" is a socially and politically engaged sustainable community art project at the intersection of social choreography and queer feminist methodologies.
- “School of Disobedience” is a new form of political resistance, an anti-fast art, an apology for slowness, a dazzling, passionate and generous platform for invisible actions and sustainable changes.

web / instagram - Anna Adam is a Franco-Hungarian performance maker and visual artist. Her work blurs the boundaries between choreography, image and object, with the body and movement as central elements of expression. Education and community building are part of her main artistic medium: she creates non-judgmental and non-hierarchical political soft-spaces to defy norms, undermine tropes, and express criticism of structural and ideological concerns.
web / instagram - “Gray Box” is a performance company between Budapest and Paris. Based on transdisciplinary research and collective experimentation, the company creates, curates and produces, in all horizontality, a body of work with a strong political, ecological and social dimension. Gray Box considers the moving body together with its immaterial aspects - such as perception, empathy, emotions, intuitions - as a political tool to fight for emancipation, social justice and independence.
