[pascal lievre]

Hi, I discover your website this morning and find your What now 2014 project.

My name is Pascal Lièvre.

I am an artist  doing for a few years  Philosophical aerobics, philosophical catwalk and musical philosophical songs. 

My philosophical aerobics : a sentence written by a philosopher about the body is perform by a group of people. 

Each movement is associated with a piece of a sentence a philosopher wrote on the body, the whole movement corresponding to the entire sentence. As a teacher I want people feel that sentence with their body.

I have performed it in french, english and arabian, in Paris, Hong Kong, Ramallah, Marseille, the next will be in Casablanca in april, Montréal in May.

Philosophical catwalk tells an history of the body in occidental philosophy in the form of a fashion show. 

Eleven boys in high heels, dressed with a white slip embroiders the name of a philosopher defile a sign in his hand on which one can read a sentence written by the same philosopher on the body. A woman is ending the catwalk without high heels with the sentence of Judith Butler.

It begins with Descartes compares the body as a machine and ends with queer theorist Judith Butler says that the body is a place where we perform gender.

I have performed 4th philosophical catwalk 2 in Paris, then Brussels and Marseille, next will be in May in Montreal (Fondation darling)
