Montpellier University

Art, body, science got born as the artistic residency of Leonardo Montecchia at the University of Montpellier, in 2015. He created and facilitated these workshops to explore the question of movement. This specific theme is questioned through various exercises of body practice and directed by artists and researchers.
In 2022, one day of Art, body and science was dedicated to the body, to movement and to artistic and scientific exploration of the issue of health. Here, movement is used as a conduit for knowledge: the body becomes a space for experimentation, experience and reflection on the following questions: is movement a tool for healing or well-being?; does physical activity reduce fatigue?; mobile or immobile sickness: what difference(s)?
