manifesto
I like the place of the body, to thwart it, to nourish it. I like to make atmospheres collide, to transform these vulnerabilities that push us to persist, to stay, to investigate original curiosities, taboos; to surrender to the senses as they surrender to us.
I seek to preserve the integrity of the living through loving gestures. I like immeasurable textures, those of the future and those of memories too. I want to free the mystery while honoring its tension, taste the wind, brush against the untouchable, hoist myself into fertilizing materials, see birth and growth.
I want to give birth to the love of collective movement; to see things through the power of sensations, emotions and complexity; to give the desire and the pleasure to understand the world differently.
I am a movement thinker who aspires to see the world be at peace with the vital place of contemplation, of the almost inactive and the infinitely small, of the ugly and the sad; of rage to excitement, of epiphany to lethargy.
I aspire to find a way to educate through creative, subtle, intuitive, and immersive mediums.
To do this, I try the sweet impromptu of things. Thus, I dare to pay homage to what is often associated with the insignificance of life. I dare perhaps even to put forward the process of discomfort, from which emerges the reconstruction of things, a precious construction site, a place of confrontations and impulses of our extra strong vanilla bodies.

Since obtaining her bachelor's degree in dance at UQAM in 2018, giverny has been developing ecofeminist performative dance projects. In this way, she explores a singularly sensual practice in correspondence with the aquatic environment. In addition, she broadens her creative methods for an even more complete choreographic voice, through drawing, textile confections, photography and audiovisual processing.
As an artistic entrepreneur, giverny welsch is slowly and subtly involved in the design of cultural mediation projects. She thus develops initiatives to raise awareness of aquatic worlds, using performance art and dance for immersive experiences. Her projects are now presented under the aegis of sujet espaces-temps, a non-profit organization dedicated to training an embodied relationship with different bodies of water. She combines three converging practices, namely somatic-inspired practice, dance and experimental video.
Seeking to consolidate her artistic approach, Giverny Welsch pursues a master's degree in dance, under the direction of Caroline Laurin-Beaucage. Obsessed by the object that is skin, she is in search of a particular aesthetic, a skin-ethic , while she perceives her skin as the psychic manuscript allowing her to better elucidate her work ethic.
She currently works with the Laborare collective, Compagnie Optixx, Human Playground, as a performer/creator/co-choreographer/collaborator.
