On request, the company can develop programs around circus and body music, in the form of cabarets, itinerant walks or in situ happenings.

EACH OF THESE NUMBERS CAN BE PROPOSED IN AN INDEPENDENT WAY, ADAPTED TO YOUR BUDGETS AND PROGRAMMING CONTEXT (See show sheets for details).

The first edition of the Brussels Body Music Festival organized by the company was held from June 2 to 17, 2021 at the CC Jacques Franck. Our intention was to raise public awareness of the various practices of body music and music without instruments. 

In two parts, the festival kicked off with two days of video recording, broadcast on social networks, on June 2 and 3, without an audience, due to government measures to combat the coronavirus epidemic. The second part took place with an audience, during a single evening of programming on June 12, bringing together some fifteen artists for eleven creations.

Following the event, we also proposed a training course in music without instruments at the Institut de Rythmique Jacques Dalcroze, for musicians working in schools, youth workers and teaching artists, from June 14 to 17.
