Anima
I follow the connections I make with others*
The Anima project is an artistic and educational project using the medium of cinema to open a space for reflection on the notion of "commitment" .
Its goal is to invite everyone to think deeply about their place in society and to conceive of a level of action that is as fair as possible for themselves, others, and the world.
This project aims to awaken critical thinking on the theme of civic engagement and to ask the question: how to get involved today in the face of the various problems of our world?
"I am defined by the connections I forge with others. "

The Anima workshop
Film screening and discussion in motion
How to maintain balance in an unstable world and remain engaged?
The short documentary and choreographic film "Anima" presents the trajectories of five characters: a child, an old man, a teenager, a migrant, a mother-to-be; who share their strategies for coping with existential crises and
to act on the world.
The environmental crisis invites us to rethink
our connection to nature, to society and to ourselves-
Even so: how to do it?
Starting with this 32-minute documentary short film, we initiate a social science-based discussion to analyze the present moment and define what we want to advocate for. Then, participants are invited, like the characters in the film, to engage in a collective dance improvisation . The workshop explores the interplay between the personal and the political, between the individual and the collective . The aim of the workshop is to share an experience that is simultaneously sensory, intellectual, and physical.

Jessica Brandler
With a doctorate in sociology, she is an associate researcher at the Centre Émile Durkheim (CNRS, SciencesPo Bordeaux, University of Bordeaux) and a collaborator at ENSAP Bordeaux, and also works as an independent sociologist.
For twenty years, her research and work have focused on the relationship to politics, and more specifically on the construction of citizenship among those excluded from the political system, from spaces of power, and from formal and institutional decision-making. Using a resolutely inductive qualitative sociological approach, she works with working-class communities in France and Latin America, particularly through the lens of gender and youth. Her work explores action research and creative research. Artistic collaborations (photography, sound, drawing, theater, exhibitions) are integrated into the research process and foster knowledge production with the research participants. They enrich the research's extensions, the ways in which it is disseminated, and the ways in which it is experienced.
