Movement Laboratory        

Doriane Mbenoun proposes this Movement Laboratory as a recurring activation within Wedding Affairs. It offers a space for embodied research, collective movement practice, and discursive exchange, exploring how movement can function as a site of knowledge, reflection, and shared experience. Through guided physical exploration and moments of dialogue, participants investigate gestures, emotions, and everyday movement patterns as material for inquiry. The laboratory is open to the public, welcoming diverse perspectives to shape the research process.

Participants are advised to bring and wear (warm) comfortable clothes: Breathable t-shirt/ top, sweater, loose sweatpants/leggings (pants suitable for movement), non-slip socks, small towel (optional, in case you get sweaty)
