The Dance Journey
The Dance Journey was designed specifically for children with disabilities or illnesses, to help them discover digitals arts through a sensory approach. Physical expression is used to explore the immersive exhibition in the spotlight at the Atelier des Lumières.
"Art en Immersion" is a national programm aiming at promoting Artistic and Cultural Education by relying on the potential of digital arts as a vehicle of transmission. each year, almost 8 000 children aged from 5 to 12 participate in it.
The Dance Journey is an inclusive, playful and multidisciplinary project in 4 steps. Its aim is to reveal to the children their cultural heritage, awaken their creativity and curiosity while learning. It is all possible thanks to an adapted dance practice that stimulates their well-being.
In 2026, the programm is centered around digital arts and all the new creative possibilities they enable. The children can discover in an unusual way the tools and the works of digitals artists and create news links with immersive art.
