Alice Dutreuil Nouchimowitz
She learned from a very young age, without stopping, all kinds of dance, from classical to rock, including tap, jazz, Afro-contemporary, trad which makes her a hybrid and plural dancer. Subsequently she studied contemporary dance at the Perpignan regional conservatory, and was part of a movement-sound improvisation laboratory.
In 2013 she discovered Contact improvisation (CI) and Body-Mind-Centering (BMC), practices that made her travel to meet dancers from all over the world.
She studied in particular
with Nancy Stark Smith, Karen Nelson and Nita Little. For about 10 years, these approaches to the body have offered her her main axes of experimentation and research around solo and collective improvisation.
Alice approaches dance as an art of presence and incarnation:
“Dance allows me to dance with the unpredictable and the invisible, it is a relational and expressive passage with the living, with what passes through me and surrounds me. I perceive movement as the very basis of life, the origin of all forms of creation.

I like to cook for events that are meaningful to me as well as for dance. I like contact with humans and love to please them. A way for me to nourish dance differently.
Terra Contact helps me get back to my roots, reconnect with the living. I feel it in my body and notice it in the bodies of others. It’s awesome.
My meals are organic, vegetarian with fresh seasonal products, mostly local and cooked with love.
Yael
I take care of the stewardship for the festival and I help in the kitchen.
I live on site.
My goal is for everything to work and for you to feel good.
I like to improvise music in the evening for jams with my flutes, percussions and electronic instruments.
Terra-Contact is close to my heart, it is a beautiful human encounter.
