What is Women's Touch?
Women’s touch is an event curated by Marie Chabert, that offers a space for those who identify as women and non-binary to explore movement practices that are mainly based on touch (Contact Improvisation, somatic practices, improvisation) in a safe environment. It aims to empower women to claim their space and redefine it within a framework that challenges prevailing patriarchal norms. It offers both a place to embody and share our experiences verbally.
The intention is to foster a supportive environment, where women and non-binary participants feel safe to take risks, be vulnerable, and share their humanity, free from the pressure of dominant dynamics.
Cultivating such spaces requires trust, shared language, and mutual care. It allows us not just to survive, but to thrive in connection.
