“Le laboratoire des nomades opens a blank page.
The laboratory of nomads brings the distant closer.
The laboratory of nomads softens the body and therefore the head, by way of the heart.
The nomadic laboratory cultivates freedom and discipline.
The laboratory of nomads transmits what it takes to resist all forms of confinement.
The laboratory of nomads blows on buried collective rites: births, mourning, seasons, passages, dreams…
The laboratory of nomads displaces the sacred.
The nomadic laboratory spreads the means to transform suffering.
The laboratory of nomads connects inhabitants, architectures and landscapes.
The laboratory of nomads lives outside the world inside.
The Laboratoire des Nomades invites us to become artists of our own lives.
Le laboratoire des nomades is a research space and time that combines artistic writing, human sciences and the intelligence of the living.
Le laboratoire des nomades creates itself along the way.”
Pauline de La Boulaye
“Le laboratoire des nomades inaugurates its path with a celebration that unfolds like a living cartography.
Geometry becomes prayer in motion.
The beginner’s spirit, open and vulnerable, learns to inhabit the moment in resonance with others: every gesture is a call, a listening, a response.
The duende emerges in this tension, in this shared intensity, when the body allows itself to be traversed by that which transcends it.
In this way, the nomadic laboratory becomes a place of synergy: space and memory can breathe together.
Dance is rooted in meditation: conscious walks, silences, breaths that open the ear.
The pillars of Danza Duende support this quest, like an invisible framework that guides the body towards accuracy. Meditative exercises take us along the path of the present and improvisation.
Together, the community traces a sensitive synergy, where the individual and the collective intertwine in the depth of duende.
Dancing all that is dead for all that is alive…”.
