Objective
Why does consent, a concept that is relatively easy to understand in theory, seem so difficult for most of us to apply in relationships? How can sensitive listening to the body help us deepen our connection to our true “yes!”, our “no,” and our “maybe”?
The tools we will explore during this workshop come from disciplines that examine the question of consent and touch from a somatic base, such as somatic sex education, contact improvisation dance, and conscious communication.
Our workshop aims to help participants clarify their intentions in physical contact and explore the different aspects involved in order to move towards more informed consent.

Content
The structure of our workshops alternates between moments of connection to the body, through grounding, breath, and movement—the presentation and practice of tools related to consent (both verbal and non-verbal), alone and in duet, as well as moments of integration and group sharing.

Biography
Marie C and Caro, co-founders of À Corps Consentants (2021), have been facilitating hands-on workshops on consent and developing more conscious forms of intimacy since 2019. Their approach is somatic, feminist-Queer and trauma-sensitive.
They have collaborated with various festivals and collectives that advocate a positive vision of the relationship to the body and sexuality: Touch and Play, La Riposte Féministe, Le Corps a ses Raisons, Brûlances, the NU.E.S and Post-Plottes collectives. Through their practices, they explore the links between sensual, artistic and political emancipation.
