"School of Disobedience" is an experimental, anti-canonical and critical Performance Art School for women. For all women regardless age, race, sexual orientation, religion, political leanings, professional and personal background...
Through empowerment methods, guerilla tactics and community building, participants are encouraged to raise their voice, echo freely the broader socio-political context, challenge hegemonic class, gender, normative behaviors, and dominant ideologies, develop their capacities to resist, protest, revolt, fight against oppression: achieve structural and sustainable changes. The “School of Disobedience” is pop-up and nomadic. Dislocating our activities into new formal and informal venues, structures, festivals allows us to think local and act local. Share and care. Through the regular practice of questioning, protesting, resisting and revolting, participants quickly liberate themselves from their fears, transgress their boundaries, go beyond their limits and push themselves out of their comfort zone. |
what is school?
For a school of tomorrow, we want to create an environment that is above all joyful and positive, where students are accepted, respected, challenged, where beyond constructive criticism they receive encouragement. Where students are neither put in boxes, nor judged. Where students can express themselves openly and simply. Where they are taught autonomy and independence without being abandoned, where they are accompanied and supported in their projects and in their dreams. Where students not only have the right to go against canons, traditions, conventions and norms, but where they are encouraged to do so. Where other forms of knowledge than theoretical are also considered and taught. Perception, empathy, emotions, intuitions.
Personal stories, life experiences.
In the school of tomorrow teachers do not tell students what to think, what to believe in, but open "doors" for them and offer them a multitude of possibilities, knowledge, tools, ways of doing and ways of seeing things. Teachers do not take advantage of the young age and the extreme sensitivity of the students to influence them, to transmit to them their personal convictions and struggles. Rather they teach them critical thinking, doubt and skepticism.
Open-mindedness, curiosity, empathy.
This school would then be human, warm, and generous.
This school is going to raise students, teach them to trust in themselves, believe in themselves, be themselves.
This school will make students become authentic, sincere and courageous.
That’s how they will face the world.
