During this two-day workshop, you will explore the history and philosophy of Shiatsu and learn part of a full-body treatment that you can begin practising with family and friends. You will learn how to position your body during a treatment. Morning exercises will introduce movements that help support these positions. The workshop is open to anyone interested in self-exploration and developing greater body awareness, or simply curious to discover Shiatsu.
Introductory Shiatsu weekend at L’Impasse / 7 & 8 November
Led by Pablo Donzé, assisted by Cindy Van Acker

Upcoming performances
Performed on stage by the Eklekto ensemble, the score guides five dancers, six percussionists and forty-eight instruments to conjure up galaxies, waves and whirlwinds – and to slip into the apparent complexity of a sky or landscape spanning states of chaos and balance. A unique experience for all audiences.
Following its premiere at the Pavillon ADC last May, the piece goes on tour:
- 9 – 12 December 2026, Théâtre Vidy – Lausanne
- 15 December 2026, LAC Lugano Arte et Cultura
- 19 – 20 January 2027, le Lieu Unique – scène nationale de Nantes
