Dance and LSF: Choreosign workshop for deaf children

Forget the spoken word and discover how dance creates its own vocabulary through the beauty of sign language. Children can unleash their creativity in these vibrant sessions led by deaf artists who turn every gesture into a unique choreographic performance.

The Atelier de Paris / CDCN hosts a recurring series of "chorésigne" workshops, blending dance and French Sign Language (LSF) for children aged 7 to 12 who are deaf or hard of hearing. Led by deaf artist Thumette Léon and two guest artists, these monthly sessions explore the connection between bodily movement and visual language. Located in the 12th arrondissement, the venue is wheelchair accessible and fully adapted for deaf or hard-of-hearing participants. Families can book a trial session for 5€ to discover this unique artistic experience.
