Schools and higher education establishments
far° works in schools, both primary and secondary, and in higher education establishments. The aim is to offer pupils and students an experiential approach to the performing arts. These initiatives take the form of workshops, discussions, or the presence of an artist who is invited from time to time to take part in the visual arts courses in order to present his or her practice and work with the students. While these invitations can sometimes give rise to concrete projects, their main aim is to highlight artistic disciplines that are rarely mentioned in school curricula.
2024
- Sara Leghissa presented the performance Muscles at the EPFL – École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne on 21 May 2024 as part of a collaboration with the festival Les Culturelles organised by the EPFL’s Collège des Humanités.
- In collaboration with the Gymnase de Nyon, visual artist and performer Mbaye Diop ran a creative workshop in two classes in October 2024. He invited the pupils to make a short animated film using footage shot in class. Working in small groups, the pupils choreographed and then filmed a movement lasting a few seconds. These images, sequenced into a series of photographs, were then used as the basis for drawings. Each group chose its own technique and method for working together. The drawings were then photographed and assembled to give life to this collective and colourful short film.

2023
- Anne-Lise Tacheron gave three workshops in autumn 2023 in a class at the Gymnase de Nyon. She invited the pupils to create living sculptures, at the crossroads of art history, visual arts and performance, while reflecting on the notion of cultural reference. Working in small groups, the students created living paintings inspired by well-known images.
