NEW WORKSHOP - Connect, explore and create around tarot art

Location : Rosa Rosam Rosae Café, Montmartre - Paris

A creative workshop set in a café in Montmartre : not a tarot reading, not fortune telling, but an exploration of tarot as a visual language.

Together, we look closely at centuries of symbolism and imagery, then move from looking to making : each participant creates their own tarot card through drawing or collage, over tea and pastries.

No prior knowledge of tarot or artistic experience needed, just your curiosity.

50% off any session through November — offer ends August 31 !
Valid for any workshop date through November.

In Development – My Body as an Archive

A project by Mélanie Esther Dorey & KeShawn Mellon

My Body as an Archive began as a conversation between choreographer and actor KeShawn Mellon and myself about grief, memory, and the traces our bodies carry long after worlds have disappeared.
 

Together, we are creating an immersive movement performance that explores how personal and collective memories live within everyday gestures and rituals. Through movement, sound, and participation, we invite audiences into a space where the body becomes a living archive of loss, resilience, and transformation.
