Description:
Stéphanie Decourteille’s classes and workshops begin with a moment of sensory exploration, inviting participants to ground themselves in the present, connect to their body, and attune to their breath. She places strong emphasis on floorwork, which she develops gradually throughout the session. Her approach prepares both body and mind to fully engage in demanding work—physically, technically, and energetically. Improvisation is also an integral part of her practice, approached as a space of discovery, freedom, and dialogue. It encourages release, sparks creativity, and supports personal expression, while fostering attentive listening and exchange with others. Sessions may sometimes conclude with partner work, whether through contact improvisation or guided manipulation.
