Cleo Tabakian is a dance artist, living in Die, France. She graduated from the Fine Arts Academy of Paris in 2014 and from the Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance, London in 2018.
Her dancing dialogs with somatic practices and martial arts. Deeply influenced by Joan Skinner’s approach to movement, she understands the pedagogy as a wonderful and necessary way of (just) being. She also perceives an empowering and strengthening potential within the practice.
Cleo is a strong advocate of the pedagogy in France specially. With Ana Stegnar and Bettina Neuhaus, she is working on the creation and publication of a booklet about Skinner Releasing in French. Cléo has been working and teaching children extensively and their playful and selfless attitude has been a great source of inspiration.
