Continuum Practice Workshop
Continuum Practice Workshop with dancer, choreographer and teacher Sylvain Méret
Saturday, 9 May 2026, from 10:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. / Sunday, 10 May 2026, from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
The fluidity of Gel/Sol, movement practice and composition from expression to dissolution.
Inspired by the somatic movement practice ‘Continuum’, this workshop will focus on awaking the fluid body. We will explore the choreography of fluid movement through wave motions, undulations, an spirals initiated within the fascial structure of connective tissues. We will learn specific breaths and sounds to deepen the felt-sense of intrinsic movements. We will then explore the rhythmic patterns of expanding into form and expressivity and dissolving from form.
The Gel/ Sol states of water are two qualities found in nature, like in a spherical water drop and a water puddle. This primordial movement is like breathing, but also mirrors the constant shift in everything we do, create, express, it is born, and it dies, it inhales, and it exhales. Gel/Sol is a terminology used to describe the two states of a cell when it moves and breathes. This will be our inspiration to awaken movement, expression, and composition as we move in time and space.
Sylvain Méret is a dancer, choreographer, and Continuum teacher. A graduate of the Bordeaux School of Fine Arts, trained in contemporary dance at PARTS and then in CODARTS dance therapy, his career has developed in France, Europe, and particularly in the Netherlands and South Korea.
